15-Passenger Van Safety Certification Course

The WorkSafe Institute of Washington has developed a course designed to provide drivers with the critical safe driving techniques necessary to reduce the rollover potential associated with 15-passenger vans. Central Washington University has adopted this training program as a requirement for all staff, faculty, and students who drive university 15-passenger vans.

The course outlines the differences between 15-Passenger vans and standard passenger vehicles, load vs. no-load stability factors, issues of visual misperception, and useful tips and techniques for parking and navigation.

This self-paced, multimedia CD-ROM course is available in the Motor Pool office and usually takes about an hour to complete. Drivers are required to renew their certification each year. Renewals may be achieved via an on-line test.
