The framework of new study modules is created within the current professional training course of truck drivers based on a designed truck driver’s profile. The validation is carried out by expert interviews. The benchmarking collates the qualification requirements and vocational training for professional drivers in Europe with risks within dangerous goods transportation chain identifies the qualitative relationship between them.
