The New Zealand Ready Mixed Concrete Association (NZRMCA) has produced a 40minute driver training DVD, designed to cover all relevant aspects of concrete truck handling.

The training of concrete truck drivers has not always received the attention it deserves. As such, the NZRMCA has endeavoured to present some fairly important information in a simple and straightforward way.

The DVD is divided into five segments:

1. Health and safety
2. Your truck, how to drive in a safe manner
3. The model driver, discusses the drivers role in the concrete experience which includes appearance and behaviour
4. Environmental considerations
5. Concrete appreciation

It is hoped the short film will be a valuable tool in the training of new drivers, as it is designed to be part of the employer's education toolbox and a health and safety resource for existing staff.
