Ambulance Driver Risk Index™
Improve the safety of your ambulance drivers with our scientifically validated driver risk assessment.
The Ambulance Driver Risk Index™
The Ambulance Driver Risk Index™ is an online driver risk assessment that identifies specific behaviours that increase the risk of driving an ambulance. It takes less than 20 minutes to complete, with each driver receiving a report. The report summarises the results and provides tailored advice on how to improve driver safety.

The Driver Risk Index™ is the subject of over 90 published academic papers. It has reliably been shown that the scales measure personality-based emotional responses to driving. These scales are associated with crashes, errors, driver behaviours and reactions behind the wheel.

This course offers driver trainers and risk management professionals an in-depth understanding of Driver Risk IndexTM reports and how to use coaching techniques to address the behavioural issues in driver risk.

“Though coaching was something my colleagues and I were doing, we
never really understood it or used it to anywhere near its potential. The
DriverMetrics® Coaching Programme undoubtedly gave us a better
understanding of coaching and unlocked even further potential. These
were realised, and evidenced when we implemented DriverMetrics®
within our service and propelled the driver training department to provide
a far more effective resource to service.”
