Hazard perception and beyond: Are these tools suitable for commercial fleets?
Hazard perception testing has been part of the driver licensing procedure for 20 years, with considerable reductions in collisions attributed to its introduction. Despite this, hazard perception has yet to become a significant part of fleet drivers’ continuous professional development. This talk will consider the barriers that have previously prevented hazard perception tests becoming more widespread within fleets, and how these issues can be overcome. Specifically, through the tailoring of training and assessment to the vehicles and roles of commercial drivers, we can create tools that are more relevant and acceptable to our target audience. Beyond hazard perception, similar tests can measure the level of risk that is acceptable to drivers, through our Amber Gambler and Tailgating tests. We demonstrate how these tests can be accessed online through our new EsituDrive platform, or delivered in classroom settings – which even include the opportunity to view hazard perception clips in a more immersive environment via a virtual reality headset. This session was recorded at The Health & Safety Event 2022 and features Dr David Crundall – Professor of Psychology, Nottingham Trent University & Co-founder of Esitu Solutions
