Van Driver Mandatory Safety Training
Mandatory Training for 12- and 15-Passenger Vans
In light of concerns raised by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration regarding the use of 12- and 15- passenger vans, the university has determined that any student or employee who drives a 12-or 15-passenger van for university-sponsored or related activities must participate in a defensive driver training program.
The Office of Risk Management and Insurance along with the university's insurance provider, Cincinnati Insurance, offers a training session free of charge for any student or employee who has completed the driver authorization process. All employees and students at least 21 years of age who are interested in participating in the training will need to complete the Driver Authorization Form prior to gaining access to the learning module.
To register for the mandatory defensive driving course, email riskmanagement@xavier.edu.
The university's Vehicle Use and Driver Responsibilities policy states drivers must be at least 21 years and must complete an authorization process. The policy is posted on the Risk Management and Insurance website.
On Demand Van Driver Safety Training
Training sessions will be held with our new learning module via Vector Solutions LMS. Please allow 30 minutes for the training session. To register, please email riskmanagement@xavier.edu.
Students and employees who drive a university-insured vehicle (including leased and rented vehicles) are required to complete the driver authorization process prior to driving for the university. In addition, van driver safety training is mandatory for students and employees prior to driving a 12- or 15-passenger van for university purposes. Please check the Risk Management and Insurance website for the university's policies on vehicle use, 12- or 15-passenger van use, and the driver authorization process.
