New Mobile Device and Driving Safety Training Manual Released

A provider of Web-based training manuals to enterprises, Advanced Corporate Compliance (ACC), recently announced the publication of its online “Mobile Device and Driving Safety Training” manual for enterprises and corporations with a large number of mobile employees on its workforce.


The manual is devised to assist companies in reducing the risk associated with mobile employees being involved in an auto accident because they have been engaged in a conversation on their mobile phones - also cutting down the financial implication such an incident could have on company bottom lines.

An increasing number of accidents are happening in the U.S. today, resulting in maiming or death, both by drivers and conductors or trains and trolleys. This indicates a serious trend in negligent use of mobile devices while driving as a majority of these accidents are caused by those who use their phones while behind the wheel.

ACC is committed to delivering efficient training to employees on how to diligently use their mobile devices while on the go. This kind of training is also expected to become a mainstay in Corporate Human Resources and Compliance Training programs across the nation.

Hector M. Torrens, president of ACC said, “Mobile communication devices have obviously evolved into more than just cell phones; they are morphing into miniature PCs. The continual advancement in mobile communications technology is only going to increase the use and the level of danger associated with these devices to speak, text, email or surf the Web while operating privately-owned and public vehicles used for mass transit."

ACC warns that while improving the legislative framework and regulation in the use of mobile devices is a step ahead, companies should not sit back and relax just yet. The law enacted can only be a deterrent to an extent; no company should assume that their workforce would follow it to the smallest detail as many will still talk, text or email from their phone while behind the wheel. Educating employees and heightening their awareness on negligent cell phone usage and informing them about the responsible way to use their mobile devices while driving is the only way by which companies can ensure conformance on this issue.
