Truck Driver Risk Index™
Improve the safety of your truck drivers with our scientifically validated driver risk assessment.
The Truck Driver Risk Index™
The Truck Driver Risk Index™ is an online driver risk assessment that identifies specific behaviours that increase the risk of driving a heavy goods vehicle for work. It takes less than 20 minutes to complete, with each driver receiving a six page summary report. The report summarises the results and provides tailored advice on how to improve driver safety.
Risk Factors
Scores across several key risk factors are used to create an individual report for every driver.
Situational Risk Factors
• Age • Annual Mileage • Driving Hours • Driving Experience • Licence Status • Crash History
Behavioural & Coping Risk Factors
• Patient Driving • Anxious Driving • Work Related RIsk • Driving Excitement • Driving Fatigue • Driving Concerns • Confrontation • Driving Focus • Self-evaluation

Research Evidence
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.

Integrated eLearning
On completing the Truck Driver Risk Index™, your drivers can be automatically allocated eLearning modules targeted to their individual report. The highly interactive modules are based on the latest research into fleet safety. A scenario-based approach encourages drivers to reflect on how behavioural tendencies can increase their risk and how to adopt safer strategies. Module assessments are used to improve knowledge retention.
