West Midlands Fire Service
"We have utilised the Fire Appliance Driver Risk Index™ (FADRI) on a variety of emergency response driving courses. Using the FADRI enhances the practical training as the report is comprehensive, and combined with the trainers’ observations forms the basis of an improved development plan for a response driver."
