Ultimate Defensive Driving has been training teen and adult drivers across Greater Pittsburgh since 2006. Founded by Jim Clair, a 20-year UPS driver safety veteran, we offer private and commercial instruction built around real-world driving situations.
No matter what your company’s business, the number one killer on the job is driving! Crashes involving vehicles on public roadways were the leading cause of work-related fatalities, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, accounting for 24 percent of all fatal work injuries. Ultimate Defensive Driving is dedicated to helping you reduce the risk and liability of operating a business today.
Every company can use our proven techniques both on and off the job. If you have a sales force, construction crew, or service providers we have a training system for you. When an organization implements a safety culture you will see results in production, employee satisfaction, and reduced costs.
We can adapt a training session to your needs. Whether you have company divers on the road, in an industrial mill on golf carts, or you just want your employees to think about driving in a different way with a “lunch and learn”, we have a program for your needs. Our instructors are licensed in PA and also by the National Safety Council and will provide your company with site-specific training. We travel to any location to keep your company safe on the road. Each program is developed to the company’s specs and is personalized for that company.
Contact us to discuss getting your team up to speed with our Train the Trainer and licensing packages. We will train your employees to conduct our training which includes all the needed accountability documentation, class materials, and driver’s checklists.
Call (724) 321-5655 or email jclair@ultimatedefensivedriving.us for a free and confidential 48-point safety/safe driving audit done at your facility.
