Guide to Safe Riding on Motorcycles, Bicycles, PABs, PMDs and PMAs

The landscape of delivery operations has evolved significantly, moving beyond the traditional reliance on motor vehicles such as vans, trucks, and motorcycles. The surge in e-commerce and online food delivery has led to a rapidly growing demand for delivery services. In response, many businesses have turned to more flexible and cost-effective alternatives like bicycles, power-assisted bicycles (PABs), personal mobility devices (PMDs), and personal mobility aids (PMAs). These devices have become increasingly popular for their affordability, maneuverability, and ability to navigate urban environments efficiently, making them ideal for last-mile delivery.

However, the widespread use of these mobility devices introduces new challenges, particularly around safety. Irresponsible use of bicycles, PABs, PMDs, and PMAs can pose risks not only to the riders themselves but also to pedestrians and other road users. Accidents and incidents can result from factors such as high speeds, inadequate training, or a lack of awareness about safe riding practices. With more delivery riders using these devices in densely populated areas, the potential for injury and conflict has increased, making safety a top priority for businesses that rely on these delivery methods.

This training course is designed to address these concerns by providing comprehensive safety guidance for the use of bicycles, PABs, PMDs, and PMAs in delivery operations. The course aims to equip companies with the knowledge and skills needed to ensure the safe and responsible use of these mobility devices among their riders. Participants will learn about the key risks associated with each type of device, proper riding techniques, and strategies to minimize hazards during delivery tasks. The course also covers regulatory requirements and safety guidelines to ensure compliance with local laws.

Through practical training and real-world examples, this course will help companies foster a culture of safety among their delivery teams. By emphasizing the importance of responsible riding and accident prevention, businesses can not only protect their riders but also maintain a positive reputation within the community. Ultimately, this course serves as an essential tool for any company that utilizes bicycles, PABs, PMDs, or PMAs in their delivery operations, helping them to manage safety effectively and sustain long-term success.
