This graph sows PDO journey of more than 25 years which shows tremendous decline on road accidents frequency. This achievement happened only after implementing some initiatives as shown in the graph. From 2010 the frequency starts climbing up which gives a clear indication that the current tools cant drop the rate further down. Looking into the majority of our incidents, shows the main contributing factor is the human behavior and that's why we have initiated defensive driving training material which focuses more on mind skills rather than the physical skills.
 

 

The main key factors to this achievement are:

  • Company management commitment and involvement in road safety initiatives and improvements.
  • Clear standards on the driver and vehicle requirements as well as the load restraining specifications.
  • Driving form conducted in all areas were open discussions held with the drivers on different driving aspects with attendance of an MDC member.

 

Fatigued driving:
Is basically forcing yourself to drive when you are tired or sleepy and statistics shows that it is one of the main factors to our MVI.
Fatigue consequences:

 

  • It impairs your ability to safely perform even basic-driving tasks.
  • It decreases reaction time and affects your judgment.
  • It can result in erratic-driving behavior.
To avoid fatigued driving kindly consider the following:
 
  • Get an adequate amount of sleep each night.
  • Avoid driving between 12 to 6 a.m. and 2 to 4 p.m.
  • If you do become drowsy while driving, choose a safe place to pull over and rest.
