The Driving Training and Assessment program is based on best practices that have been developed by Four Wheel Drive India keeping in mind the Indian environment, the high traffic risk due to lack of road sense/awareness, huge amount of road accidents, casualty, injuries, complex geography and terrain of the country etc.

If your Organisation/Individual safety program does not already include driving skill improvement, now is the time to look at the benefits of implementing Driving Training Program

Which work-related tasks carry the most risk? If you survey your workplace, you may find, as others have, that most employees rank driving as their riskiest activity in India.

Most of the companies in India found that approx 80 per cent of its staff indicated they feel most at risk of injuries while driving on the job, or to and from work and also in their personnel life. This perception is valid. <

In fact, the transportation sector had the highest proportion of casualties. Nevertheless almost all industry divisions reported significant deaths and injuries due to "Vehicle related accidents."

Many statistics of any company may not capture the full extent of the problem. This is because they only include lost time injuries resulting from motor vehicle collisions that are work-related. They do not include incidents that are not directly work related, such as commuting.

Any business that has company vehicles will have collisions. More accidents/ collusions in a fleet result in higher medical and vehicle insurance costs. Moreover, direct costs are like the tip of an iceberg. If an employee is injured, the often-hidden indirect costs can include lost time and productivity, and possibly hiring and training a replacement.

Today, due diligence is as important a consideration as cost control. Occupational health and safety regulations hold companies accountable if their employees are injured when conducting job-related duties for which they have not been trained.

For an individual or a small business with fewer than 10 vehicles, the benefits of a driver improvement program are hard to quantify unless a crash actually occurs. Larger fleets track the frequency and cost of collisions. This permits them to assess the preventive value of driver improvement programs.

For employees who have a company car or drive their own vehicle on the job, driving is a matter of occupational safety. However, an estimated nine out of 10 time-loss injuries happen off the job. Safe drivers lose less time from work because they avoid collisions. That is why all employees who have a driver's licence can benefit from Driving Training Program.

The way you drive affects the amount of fuel your vehicle uses. Simply driving more smoothly can save up to 30 per cent or more on fuel - and defensive driving habits enable smooth driving. For example, when you anticipate traffic conditions, leave a three-second following distance and respect speed limits you avoid constant acceleration and braking, which are hard on fuel consumption. Rash and hurry starts and hard braking not only show poor driving technique but also waste fuel.

In our Driving Training Program we provide the trainers with few driving tips which helps in fuel consumption also.
