Road safety continues to be one of the great challenges facing upstream/downstream oil & gas companies. In a global scene, the picture is no different, 3000 lives are lost daily due to road and traffic crashes, among young people aged 15-29 years-road traffic injuries are the second leading cause of death worldwide (WHO world report on road traffic injuries prevention). On 2004, ADCO and contractors have lost three employees due to road crashes; this triggered company wide efforts focused on improving road safety management system for both ADCO and contractors. In depth study of immediate and system causes of these crashes and other related data were conducted. Several deficiencies were identified effecting the implementation, communication and follow up of company road safety programs. A combined task force of ADCO and key contractors was appointed to conduct a comprehensive analysis of those deficiencies and to propose potential solutions. This paper explains the several key implemented recommendations in areas of technology, communication, journey management and alliance with governmental agencies. As a result of those implemented improvements, ADCO and contractors had no fatalities for the past three years; additionally ADCO had a sizable decrease in road traffic violations by employees. |
