This time, "Joint Implementation of Traffic Safety Education," a measure for SDG target №3 "Health and Welfare for All," was held on January 28 at Seino Transportation Co., Ltd., Tokyo Branch (3-1-1 Shinkiba, Koto Ward, Tokyo).
16 drivers who joined the company in January and working in the Kanto area participated in this program. Mr. Hironori Matsubara, Assistant General Manager of the Safety Promotion Department of Seino Transportation Co., Ltd., gave an opening remark and said: "This initial driver training is stipulated by the Trucking Business Law. We are confident that collaboration of the educational know-how of both companies will enhance the quality of the training and contribute to training drivers who can provide even greater safety. I would like you to make this educational opportunity fruitful."
After orientation and self-introductions, using an instructional DVD and textbook, the participants learned how to prepare for truck driving, matters to be observed to ensure truck safety, and the structural characteristics of trucks in the morning. The afternoon training included learning the structural properties of the trucks, the points that need to be inspected daily, the function of parts, and the driving posture by using actual trucks at the parking lot on the rooftop.
As a closing remark, Mr. Katsuya Morishita, Managing Executive Officer in charge of safety management of Fukuyama Transporting Co., Ltd., gave the following words of encouragement: "The mission each of you has assigned is to safely and securely transport entrusted cargo to its destination.

The participating drivers commented: "Since we are driving on public roads, we need to learn not only driving manners but also to set an example for public car drivers.” and “I will always be aware of the potential dangers that may lurk in our daily driving. I will not forget my driving posture and attitude, and be ready to respond appropriately when the time comes.”
