How are the passwords allocated to drivers?

You have two options. Either we can pre-load the system and email your drivers directly or we can provide you with a set of passwords for allocation to drivers for you to distribute yourself.

How secure is the data?

We take data protection very seriously. We are compliant with UK and EU data protection legislation and our databases are stored securely using Amazon Web Services.

Who receives the driver’s report following completion of the Driver Risk Index™?

For drivers taking part in an assessment with an e-learning package included, their report is immediately made available to them on completion of the assessment, as their e-learning allocations are linked to their factor scores.  For those without automatically allocated e-learning, the report can be made available on-screen at the end of the assessment, and/or emailed to the driver, group contact, and main MIS contact.

How do we know that drivers are not ‘cheating’ or faking?

The assessment contains scales specifically designed to identify drivers who show signs of responding in a way that may not be representative of their real risk.  Communicating the health and safety reasons behind the introduction of the Driver Risk Index™ to your driving workforce, particularly around its role as a development tool to help them be as safe as possible, will help to reduce suspicion and improve accuracy.

How was the Driver Risk Index™ developed?

Research on the development of the Driver Risk Index™ in the late 1980’s began with a large sample of drivers completing a driving diary over a period of days recording their driving experiences and responses. From this information, a questionnaire was developed and administered to hundreds of drivers. Responses to this questionnaire were subject to various statistical procedures to describe behavioural and emotional responses to driving. These statistical procedures resulted in the development of several behavioural scales to describe personality-based emotions and behaviours when driving. These scales were then assessed for reliability and validity and the findings published in a large number of published academic papers.
