- Stericycle Recognized for Its SWAT Defensive Driving Certification Program
Stericycle, Inc., a leading provider of regulated medical waste management, secure information destruction and patient engagement solutions today announced it received a Brandon Hall Group gold award for excellence in the Best Certification Program category. Stericycle, together with its training curriculum partner, Judge Learning Solutions, was honored with a gold award for its SWAT defensive driving certification program.
SWAT is a global certification program developed to certify more than 600 Stericycle supervisors to deliver defensive driving training to more than 3,400 of the company’s transportation team members that support regulated medical waste management and secure document destruction. The four steps in the SWAT program – Steer, Watch, Anticipate and Take Action – are designed to reduce the risks involved in driving by teaching drivers to anticipate dangerous situations. This comprehensive program includes live workshops, eLearning, hands–on practice and video scenarios for immediate knowledge as well as posters and mobile messages for ongoing reinforcement.
