WJ Group – Driver Training
Most HGVs must be driven by someone with a corresponding C or C+E licence. However, road marking trucks can be driven on a car licence. This is not an exemption WJ Group takes advantage of. It trains all of its drivers to HGV standards, and pays for their licence acquisition as part of their road marking apprenticeship. It does not have to comply with Driver CPC continuous training rules, but it does nonetheless provide its own courses, based on the CPC curriculum, and to CPC standard. These cover topics such as the environment, safe loading, and walkaround vehicle checks. Every new recruit has a week-long induction which takes them through all the company policies and spends a lot of time discussing WRRR. The company also holds toolbox talks, and the annual ‘company days’ always include segments on WRRR. Drivers complete the appropriate FORS courses where specified.
