Kazakhstan and Kuwait will have safer roads following two separate contracts secured by IAM Fleet. In Kazakhstan, an IAM fleet trainer is starting a six-week stint and running a 'train the trainer' module for Karachaganak Petroleum.

The oil and gas consortium sought professional driver training on an extensive range of working vehicles, from personnel carriers to 6x4 trucks.

Meanwhile in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, another IAM trainer is helping BP staff on a 12-day tour. The BP health and safety manager from Kuwait came to the UK recently to take his advanced driving test in preparation for his training as an assessor.
