Safe Driving Habits: A State of Mind

Risk Management Division Video/DVD Titles:

  • Backing and Parking, 13 minutes (VHS)- Covers practical and simple solutions for avoiding common accidents that can occur when drivers are backing vehicles. It also provides simple but important safety tips when parking vehicles and when driving to parking lots.
  • Coaching the Van Driver II - A "self-contained" notebook that packages together a video, instructor's guide, and overheads for instructing drivers of 15-passenger (or other sized) vans. The program has a non-lecture, participant-intensive educational approach. This program can be presented as a classroom course in one session or shorter, multiple sessions, or can be offered as a self-instruction/assessment course. Subjects covered in the training package include: vehicle inspection/characteristics; safe driving skills; driving environments; special considerations; and transporting cargo and passengers. The notebook also contains instructor and self-instruction notes and a driver test form. Available in VHS and DVD.
    Note: OFM's 15-passenger van training requirements allow for agency discretion in the selection of course curriculum, length, or mode of training for 15-passenger van drivers. This video package is provided by the Risk Management Division only as a convenient resource for Washington State agencies, and is not to be construed as required to meet OFM 15-passenger training requirements.

  • Driving Distractions of the Everyday Driver, 18 minute DVD - Covers the many types of distractions that drivers are confronted with when operating a vehicle. A review of stopping distance numbers helps to emphasize how little time is available to the driver to avoid a situation when attention is "distracted" from the driving task. The video discusses safety practices in the following distraction categories: comfort controls, technology, and exterior distractions. The added impact of poor weather conditions and unfamiliar territory are also discussed.
  • Driving Distractions of the Professional Driver - (VHS) Distractions of the Professional Driver are more complex and tend to differ from day to day. Common distractions such as clipboards, work orders, two-way radios, on board computers, maps, directions, finding an address in traffic as well as the more common types of distractions such as cell phone, GPS device and pedestrians are skillfully addressed in this video.

  • Mixing Four Generations in the Workplace, DVD Package - Generational conflict can significantly impact productivity. In this video, generational expert Cam Marston provides a program to educate and stimulate positive interaction among people and reduce conflict. It provides managers and supervisors with strategies for hiring, working with, and motivating employees, using the generational differences (Matures, Boomers, Gen Xers, and Millennials) in a positive way. The package includes the videos: "How to Deal with Four Generations" - 16 minutes and "Defining Four Generations in the Workplace" - 18 Minutes. Also included is a CD with a 32-page Facilitator Guide, 30-page Participant Guide, and Participant Exercises and Power Point Presentation.
