Driver behaviours, like other behaviours, can be influenced and changed. Whilst the Driver Risk Index™ is normally used as part of an ongoing driver risk management process, it has also been used successfully to aid in driver recruitment and selection. By identifying the personal characteristics that are associated with at-risk driver behaviour, the Selection Driver Risk Index™ can be used alongside other recruitment methods, contributing to a holistic view of a candidate’s suitability for a particular driving role. Once selected, the driver’s report can then be incorporated into any induction programme and used as part of their ongoing driver development.

We recommend that the Driver Risk Index™ is completed by your drivers once a year. Comparisons can be made in the scores between assessments within the Management Information System. If you have implemented any interventions to manage risk, this is an ideal way of evaluating the impact on driver behaviour.

The Driver Risk Index™ takes approximately 20 minutes to complete.

The web interface for the Driver Risk Index™ is designed to be accessible to all users and the level of English used is easy to understand. If the user can browse the web, they will be able to complete the assessment with ease.
