  solutions. Road Safety and Health Safety go
  hand in hand

  standards for future. Very relevant in terms of
  economic situation and vital not to lose impetus

  take-aways throughout the day

  range of topics. A good day and expert company.
  Should be a relevant event

  an interesting day

• Additional Comments Continued
• Very well organised conference
• Excellent initiative. Great to see RSA and RHA
  working together on this. Data on grey fleet /
  cars driven for work is important
• Good all round informative conference
• This should become an annual event and the focus
  brought to as broad an audience as possible
• Shortage of note paper. Slides difficult to read
• CD was useful.
• Next conference - increase commercial speakers
• Lack of figures for SPSV industry, considering
  the amount of vehicles on the road
• Would have liked to see the Taxi SPSV industry
  considered

• Additional Comments Continued
• OK, found the conference in general quite
  informative, etc. but too many statistics through
  the presentations. A moving picture once in a
  while would suffice! Thanks for invite and tea,
  dinner, etc.
• All individual presentations very useful and
  complimentary to each other
• Too much PowerPoint
• Very disappointed that a competent speaker from
  the driving training industry was not invited to
  participate
• More representation from the haulage community.
  More from actual driver trainers
• Fewer presentations. More time for QA and in
  depth presentation
• Too many presentations, not kept in time. As an
  interested person with no axe to grind, there
  were too many people pushing their own agenda at
  expense of all learning together

• Additional Comments Continued
• Enforcement / enforcement / enforcement in the
  early stages of all these initiatives we cant
  wait for people to change cultures and adopt safe
  practices, offenders and non-compliance MUST be
  met with the threat of firm sanction
• Interesting to note that there was no one present
  from Dept. of Transport either in audience or
  speakers. Compared to UK D for T it is
  non-existent in this field. A disgrace
• Stronger statement for more enforcement for RSA
• Some questions werent properly answered!
• Contributors from the floor were generally
  grinding their own axe rather than bringing
  elucidation. This was handled with tact however
  a stronger approach might discourage irrelevances
• Break out sessions / work groups to report back
  to conference might work

12

• Additional Comments Continued
• Please provide hard copies of presentations and /
  or note paper so notes can be taken alongside
  slides
• Good wide content more information on driver
  fitness would have been useful
• Overall I thought that it was a well organised
  event with useful information
• Some of the content was repetitive particularly
  mid-afternoon session (11.20 lunchtime). The
  overview of the presentations provided at the end
  was completely unnecessary for a day long
  training seminar and extended the day unduly
• Do away with conference review
• Presentation on causes of fatal and serious
  injury collisions would be welcome
