IG Taxi Ortenau: Practical training – driving safety, inclusion and fire safety
The approach is pragmatic: "By companies for companies." The idea is a training day organized by industry players themselves, supported by the Straßenverkehrsgenossenschaft Baden eG and BG Verkehr. The focus is on the driving personnel — and thus on a professional group whose daily life swings between routine and emergency situations.
Various Modules for Practice
The venue is the former airport fire station in Lahr, an area that provides ample space for practical exercises. Between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., participants go through various modules, which repeat several times over the course of the day. The organizational framework remains deliberately flexible: Those who come register at the entrance and join the flow. The actual training portion lasts about one hour, complemented by waiting times and the possibility to delve deeper into individual stations.
In terms of content, the Traffic Safety Day covers a broad spectrum. Classic instructions on occupational safety are as important as dealing with passengers with mobility impairments — a topic that is gaining importance in the day-to-day operations of many companies. In addition, there are practical driving elements: an obstacle course, exercises on the slip surface, situations that, in a controlled manner, push the limits of vehicle handling.
Immediate measures for the driving personnel - and more
New modules in the program focus more on exceptional situations. “Immediate measures for the driving personnel” for example address scenarios in which quick decisions are required—from medical emergencies to incidents in road traffic. The offering is complemented by a fire safety training session, which is also designed to be practical.
What is striking is how open the format is kept. Participation is free of charge, independent of association membership or membership in the Interessengemeinschaft Taxi Ortenau. In doing so, the industry sends a signal: qualification should not be hindered by organizational boundaries.
The second date is already set as well. On September 5, the Road Safety Day will take place again. For the organizers, this is less an event than a continuous task. The demands on the driving personnel are changing—driven by technology, regulation, and passenger expectations. The response to this in Ortenau is pragmatic: practice, repeat, improve.
Refreshments are also provided
At the edge of the grounds, a catering stand run by the Taxi Ortenau Interest Group provides refreshments. It is a detail that fits the character of the event. No large stage program, no staging – instead a hands-on day, organized once again by the dedicated people of Ortenau!
