Post Accident Procedures

About the Training

What a driver does in the first minutes after a crash shapes everything that follows. This training walks through the immediate steps — securing the scene, calling 9-1-1, documenting without admitting fault, and reporting — so drivers respond correctly under pressure.

What You'll Learn

  • Take the correct immediate steps at an accident scene
  • Call 9-1-1 and avoid admitting liability
  • Use the accident checklist and report forms kept in the truck
  • Report the accident to the manager promptly
