Defensive Driving Training

Saskatchewan Motor Safety Association (SMSA) has an online course for driving defensively which has been of interest to a number of health-care staff. This is a FREE course and good for those who are interested in understanding how to drive defensively.

Saskatchewan Association for Safe Workplaces in Health (SASWH) has an arrangement with SMSA where health-care staff can go to the online registration link and register for the course. Where it asks for Place of Work or Study, enter 'health-care staff'. This will allow you to register for the course for free.

Once you submit the online registration, a log in and password will come to your email address.
