The commercial training arm of the IAM, IAM Drive & Survive, is offering fleet managers and commercial drivers a new and improved online product – Virtual Risk Manager.

IAM Drive & Survive’s Virtual Risk Manager (VRM) is a research-based online risk assessment, monitoring and improvement tool, designed by Interactive Driving Systems (IDS) to enable companies to monitor every aspect of their driver’s safety and wellbeing.

It aims to ensure that all reasonable steps are being taken to support the employer’s duty of care and health and safety obligations for business drivers, with a focus on early intervention.

VRM aims to provide savings of between 20-60% over three years by reducing incidents and collisions, leading to a reduction in insurance claims and staff compensation costs.

IAM Drive & Survive chief executive Simon Best said: “Virtual Risk Manager is especially designed to help fleet managers improve safety and reduce costs. With VRM IAM Drive & Survive provides fleets with assessment and training that is completely tailored to the company’s needs. It is an excellent low-cost tool that checks the driving risk of new employees and meets the training needs of existing staff.”
