Driver Engagement Programme 

Occupational Road Risk is a significant issue for any business of our type, and many others. 

Although often seen as a secondary element to many, any business that moves people and or materials must identify this as a hazard and one that presents a significant risk if not managed practically and efficiently with a significant focus on people. 

Not exclusively but importantly, there are many other aspects to consider but it is often the person holding the steering wheel whose behaviours will determine the level of risk to themselves, their passengers and other road users. Just consider the following facts: 

  • Worldwide: Approximately 1.35 Million people die each year as a result of road traffic accidents (source: WHO). 
  • Worldwide: In most high-income countries, an estimated one-third of road traffic crashes involve someone at work. In developing countries, it is likely to be higher (source: UNRSC). 
  • Oman: 13.8 people (per 100,000) die each year as a result of road traffic accidents. (source: ROP website).
  • Worldwide: 94% of crashes are caused by human error (driver attitude and behaviour). (source: (UK) National Highway Transportation Safety Administration).

It is with these facts in mind, and our continued commitment to make our workplaces safer that we reaffirm our recognition that the vehicle is a workplace in and of itself. 

Therefore we are launching our Driver Engagement Programme, aiming to better connect with our employees and to encourage the best of driving behaviours both at work and in the community. 

We are intending a formal launch of the programme at our Duqm project and will keep you informed of our progress. In the meantime should you wish to discuss further, please contact us via hsse@douglasohi.com.
