Did you know that speeding is one of the most common behaviors among a lot of road users. Most of the fatal accidents in Oman as country and in PDO operation are directly related to speed. Although PDO has set the standards, training, and safety rules such as (Golden Rules & Life Saving Rules) to keep us safe, the driver is who chooses to put him/herself in danger by speeding.  Therefore, to raise awareness and save lives, our Corporate Road Safety team conducts counseling sessions because we care about you. These sessions help to understand the reasons behind speeding and show how this behavior can affect your safety.

 

The biggest fear the majority of PDO road users have is the Company’s consequence management matrix a usual question we ask during counseling  : do you care about your and other’s safety ? the answer is always yes because as  human by nature we care, , , then why do we wait until  we  harm ourselves or someone else or possibly kill them?
PDO's road safety team is monitoring the roads, to advice about safe driving behaviours as a priority before reporting violations in order to keep you safer. By that , we can help to enhance your awareness inside the company, but what about out of PDO’s gates? What about when you drive your family around? Should we still monitor your behavior or tell you how to be more careful???......No one can answer these questions better than you “The Driver”.

 

This year the number of over speeding reports is not decreasing, we must hold responsible for our actions and behaviors. The management consequence matrix is tough when it comes to breaking the company rules and policies. The breach of the Life Saving Rules is considered as Major misconduct and will lead to disciplinary measure for PDO staff and PDO’s contractor staff.  Tips to follow to reach safely:

  • Always wear your seatbelt
  • Obey the speed limit  and watch for the road warning signs
  • Avoid using the mobile phone while driving
  • Watch for pedestrians and maintain eye contact
Remember, you are behind those wheels, you have the control and you can make the difference.
