I. What is Blue Ridge Motorcoach Risk Management?
It is a consulting company formed by Steve Sulligan who combines
his law enforcement training experience as a State Trooper and fifteen
years of Motorcoach driving to drivers, and protects Motorcoach
companies from court litigation and reduces liability. Our motto:
"We Train to Reduce Liability and Increase Profitability."
II. How does a risk management training program help the Motorcoach
owner and enhance your ongoing in-house training?
1) Utilizing training concepts that have been used in the law enforcement
sector. In high risk/high liability areas such as police pursuit,
etc., courts want to see how the extensive training program is assembled.
Documentation is so very important.
2) Smaller bus companies do little or nothing in driver training.
In defending a lawsuit these companies will be very vulnerable to
paying significant damages.
