(VST100)  Van Safety Training

OP 79.13 University-Related Travel by Motor Vehicle

Drivers of 15-passenger vans are required to take this course.
This policy applies to all Tech employees as well as students.
 

Because of recent, fatal accidents involving 15-passenger vans, the state of Texas passed a law (effective September 1, 2002) requiring state agencies to provide van safety awareness training as a prerequisite to approving drivers.

If your department owns or plans to rent a 15-passenger sized van, drivers must complete the Texas Tech training course before being authorized to drive one of these vehicles.

Class prerequisite: Each driver must be placed on Texas Tech's approved driver's list.  (See TTU OP 79.13 at http://www.depts.ttu.edu/opmanual/OP79.13.pdf for information on submitting the necessary forms to the Office of Risk Management. Click here for the drug screening request form. This applies to faculty, staff, and students who drive any 15-passenger van as part of their job duties, or as part of a university-related activity.)  For more information about the requirements and steps to be on the approved drivers’ list, visit the Risk Management Web site at http://www.texastech.edu/System/riskmang/.

Quality Service & Professional Development is offering this mandatory training course at no charge to all university 15-passenger van drivers.
