The Verkehrsbetriebe Zürichsee and Oberland AG (VZO) have carried out their annual training for 288 chauffeurs and chauffeurs in the past few weeks. The Tuggen traffic center focused on targeted maneuvering, safety while driving and correct behavior in the event of accidents and medical emergencies. As the VZO informs, the training of driving staff is an integral part of the annual program.
Millimeter work on the course
Unlike previous years, this time the focus was on technology, safety and the deeper feeling of the vehicle. At the Tuggen center, employees trained in the precise maneuvering of 12 and 18 meter buses through narrow, marked courses – both forwards and backwards. According to the VZO, the participants were particularly trained in assessing the vehicle dimensions, dealing with the blind spot and safe behavior in demanding traffic situations.
Act correctly in an emergency
In addition to safe driving, professional behavior in the event of an incident is crucial. In groups, the participants repeated the procedures in the event of accidents and medical emergencies. The aim is to act calmly, structured and responsibly in the event of an incident, emphasizes the VZO, to protect passengers, other road users and the employees themselves.
