Understanding your risks and then maximising your budget to eliminate or mitigate these risks is an important goal. There's no point giving training where it's not needed, and people don't like doing training that's unnecessary.
The Driver Assessment is the perfect way to evaluate your drivers' and operators' knowledge and current risk.
A detailed report is created for each person that assesses whether they have had appropriate training for their work, and whether there are any gaps in their knowledge.
Plus, an aggregate report shows which people are recommended to do specific training courses making it super simple to organise. This way, you don't end up putting your team through unnecessary training; you can zero in on the training that's specific to each driver or operator's requirements.
Plus, the reports contain additional recommendations relating to things a driver and fleet manager need to know.
The assessment only asks questions specific to the vehicles that the driver says they drive. The assessment covers:
Does anything else come with the assessment? Yes, there is a downloadable document that contains checklists for driver recruitment and induction.
Can I purchase this as an individual? Yes, however, you must select the business account option when prompted, otherwise the reporting feature will not be activated.
How long does it take? The assessment takes between 15-25 minutes depending on the number and type of vehicles chosen.
Who is this assessment for? Drivers of class 1 (cars, utes, light trucks), class 2 and 4 (medium and heavy trucks and buses), class 3 and 5 (medium and heavy combination vehicles), forklift operator's, and excavator and wheeled front-end loader operators. It can be used for existing drivers, or for pre-employment checks.
What happens when you finish the assessment? A report is provided to the manager which has recommendations.
Can this be used in conjunction with an in-cab assessment? Yes. TR Driver Training can provide an in-cab assessment of the person's driving which will focus on their actual abilities behind the wheel.
Set up is free whether you are purchasing one course licence or a hundred course licences.
Disclaimer: The Driver Assessment relies on data input by your drivers and operators. Any recommendations will be based on that. It's the responsibility of the PCBU to implement any training recommendations. The absence of a recommendation doesn't not necessarily indicate zero risk. Use of the assessment is at your own risk.
