# International Road Safety Training

International Road Safety Training (IRST) is an advanced driver training specialist based in Grays, Essex, delivering professional road safety instruction to commercial and professional drivers across the UK. With over 30 years of industry experience since 1994, IRST has trained more than 1,000 drivers in accident prevention and vehicle control techniques.

The company serves commercial transport operators, fleet managers, and professional drivers who require certified advanced driver training. Their clientele includes industry professionals seeking to reduce incidents, minimise insurance claims, and develop safer driving practices amongst their teams.

IRST distinguishes itself through a unique blend of experienced instructors and cutting-edge simulation technology. Rather than relying solely on theoretical knowledge, they provide hands-on training that combines human expertise with modern ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) technology, allowing drivers to experience real-world scenarios safely. Their courses focus on practical skills including rollover prevention, skid management, jackknife avoidance, and slow-speed manoeuvring—critical competencies for heavy goods vehicle operators.

The training facility incorporates interactive demonstrations of braking systems (ABS/EBS), electronic stability control, and emergency braking assist, ensuring drivers understand how modern safety technologies function under pressure. This experiential approach creates lasting behavioural change rather than passive learning, directly translating to accident prevention and enhanced road safety culture within organisations.
