The Issue

 

Global road traffic deaths number over 1.2 million annually, with another 50 million seriously injured. Road accidents are the leading cause of death for people aged between 15 and 44, with lower income countries being particularly affected. The recent European Truck Accident Causation Study found that:

Accidents involving commercial vehicles are caused by human error in 80-90% of cases.

Our expertise in psychometrics and extensive knowledge of the logistics industry is helping ensure that potential new employees are suitable before driver training starts. Road safety is one of the greatest development challenges this century. There is new global consensus to reduce accidents, with the UN’s Decade of Action for Road Safety and Agenda for Sustainable Development aiming to halve deaths and injuries by 2020.
