Driving Towards Safety: Road Safety Campaign by Douglas OHI UAE

Douglas OHI UAE recently organised a Road Safety Campaign aimed at raising awareness among team members and drivers about the mandatory requirements for road transport operations. The campaign highlighted the critical importance of road safety through detailed discussions on key topics:

·  Safe Driving Practices: Emphasising behaviours that minimise risks and ensure the safety of everyone on the road.

·  Roles and Responsibilities of Drivers and Passengers: Outlining clear expectations for both to maintain a safe transport environment.

·  Benefits of IVMS (In-Vehicle Monitoring System): Demonstrating how driver performance is measured against pre-set parameters to improve accountability.

·  IVMS Intervention Programmes: Educating participants on managing violations and risk exposures effectively.

·  RAG Reporting System: Explaining how this system categorises driver performance for actionable insights.

·  Fatigue Management: Highlighting the importance of recognising and managing fatigue to prevent accidents.

·  Safety Flash and Lessons Learned from Incidents: Sharing insights to reinforce a culture of continuous improvement in safety practices.

To complement the campaign, a specialised awareness session was conducted at the mechanical workshop for both professional and non-professional drivers. This session provided hands-on training on critical tasks such as performing daily vehicle checks and changing spare tyres.

Through these initiatives, Douglas OHI UAE reinforces its unwavering commitment to safety and the well-being of its workforce, ensuring safer roads and operations for all.

This campaign serves as another step towards creating a culture where safety is not just a requirement but a shared responsibility. Together, we drive towards excellence! 🚛👷
