Driver Distraction Toolbox Talk - NRSPP

Heavy vehicle driving is in nature a solitary activity, with drivers often experiencing loneliness, boredom, and declining vigilance, leading them to engage in secondary tasks. Driver distraction can be defined as something that can occur in situations where the driver allocates resources to a non-safety critical activity. It has been classified as vehicle-external or vehicle internal distraction. This Toolbox Talk focuses on driver distraction.

Toolbox Talks are an effective and cost-efficient way to communicate information and knowledge about driving safety, health and safety, and operational issues within a workplace. A Toolbox Talks should ideally take approximately 15-20 minutes. This Toolbox Talks Package is designed to provide Team Leaders/Managers and Facilitators with the required resources and information to conduct a toolbox safety talk about dangers of mobile phone use when while driving, to a group of employees within the organisation.
