Driver poor behavior (reckless, speed, maneuvers)Driver lack of competenceDriver fatigueDriver loss of concentration (stress, alcohol, distracted, etc.)Driver physical fitnessDriver poor vision Animals (camels, goats, donkeys)Behavior of pedestriansRoad Safety Management: Threats and Controls

*Dec/02Road Safety Controls: The other road users

Yearly GCC Road Safety Week Campaign organised by PDO and distributed through Shell/BP/Al-Maha petrol stationsFormulating National Road Safety Plan workshop held 4/2001 attended by Police and Ministries involved in Road SafetyInterior awareness campaigns: Villages, Schools and Loacal Community ContractorsRegular contacts with National and local Police DDC: Defensive Driving Course for our drivers


*Dec/02Road Safety Threats: The roads + environmentObstruction (permanent/mobile: stones, equipment)Poor road maintenancePoor road designPoor visibility (dust, fog, rain)Poor visibility (night)Rain (slippery road/wadis)Objects above road; height restrictionsSteep gradientsOff road hazardsWind forcesHeat & dehydrationRoad Safety Management: Threats and Controls

*Dec/02Road Safety Controls: The roads + environment

No Night Driving policy MAF/RAH Road Safety Panel: reviews all proposals in MAF industrial area.Blacktopping of all major roads (500 km done, 300 km outstanding)Condition based maintenance of graded roads: re-sheeting/gradingRoad condition reporting by drivers: feed-back to repair/maintenance.Rationalizing Road signs Dust code: no over taking, get off the road when dust cloud coming towards you, lights on on graded roads.Road Safety Management: Threats and Controls

*Dec/02Road Safety Threats: The transport operation Poor supervisionLogistics: unnecessary kmsLogistics: non-optimum fleet managementDocumentation unclear


*Dec/02Road Safety Controls: The transport operation Road Transport Safety Program = Road transport HSE case Rewrite of the HSE case based on bow-tie treath/control concept Make it understandable to the users/drivers Ranking and gap analysis of controls Test HSE case against every RTA Review by outside party (NSC/TRL)KM reduction: organisation of primary/secondary logistics


*Dec/02Road Safety Threats: The vehicle

Poor Tires: selection/pressure/conditionPoor vehicle condition/maintenance (major maintenance)Poor checks and minor maintenance to vehicle (tyre change,oil/water check,battery acid, hot parts,rotating parts,hydraulic pressure)Inappropriate for the task


*Dec/02Road Safety Controls: The vehicle

PDO Vehicle specifications:Interior: 190 mm ground clearance, rollbars, high intesity rear lights.First aid kits, triangles, AC, seatbelts on all seats, airbags, ABS breaks.Tire specifications, inspections Pre-mobilsation inspections for all vehicles.Daily vehicle checks and defect reporting systemsMonthly vehicles safety inspections/maintenanceYearly MOT type inspection by third party inspection agencies (RAS: Roadworthiness Assurance System).Journey Management systems (trip/vehicle authorisation)Road Safety Monitoring Teams: road side vehicle inspections.Use of 2WD instead of 4WD: low center of gravityRoad Safety Management: Threats and Controls

*Dec/02Road Safety Threats: The load/passengers

Overloaded/instability weight and distributionBulk liquids movable weightLoads not correctly securedOversized loadsLoad securing means working at height, chains, cheater bars, load bindersHazardous nature of the load chemicals,gases, radiation, high or low temperature,pressurisedPassengers as "load"Dis/embarking, trips,height


*Dec/02Road Safety Controls: The load/passengers

Load restraining procedures/specifications/competence requirements (SP/2001)Weigh bridges and inspections of loads before release.RSMT and ROP road side checksSpecialist Defensive Driving courses for bus and tanker drivers.Mandatory seatbelt for all passengersJourney Management procedures: vehicle/driver selection.

*Dec/02Classic S-pattern: veered to the right, pulled left (overcorrecting) and then pulled right again and rolled. 16/Nov LTIRollover !!Straight Graded road BahjaRollovers: again

*Dec/02Common features of these rollovers:Speed (80 km/hr can be too fast !!)All are 4 WD high Centre of Gravity cars8 on straight roads8 classic S curves: driver loses concentration and veers slowly left or rightwrong steering reaction: pulls hard left/rightwrong braking reaction: brakes whilst steering4 on blacktop roads at high speed1 tyre blow-out, 1 junction/speedRollovers: again

*Dec/024WD are great cars: They are strong (we think)They can go anywhere (almost)You (almost) never get stuckYou sit high (good view)They are powerful & feel good (macho?)They are comfortableThey can carry a lot of load and peopleBUT.Rollovers: again

*Dec/02But 4WD:Have a very high CoG: this means that they are more sensitive to rollovers.They do not brake that well: they are very heavy.They do not steer and corner that well: they are heavy and high.They give a false sense of security: driver feels invulnerable at any speed.They are powerful and can go very fast: much too fast for their handling ability.Rollovers: again

*Dec/02Would you drive these cars in the same manner when taking a corner or bend ??? Of course NOT !!! 4WD High CoG car: adjust your driving & speed.Rollovers & Centre of GravityHigh CoG

*Dec/02When driving a 4WD:Adjust your driving style. Combination of:SpeedSteering: no sudden changes of directionBraking: start braking earlier, keep more distanceKeep heavy loads as low as possible: NOT on the roof! High loads make the car more unstable. Keep loads balanced to the centre/middle.Passengers are also load: they change the stability of the car.Rollovers: again

For drivers & their supervisorsOctober 2002

*Dec/02Did you learn from this fatality?24/May/2002

*Dec/02No you did not !! There are still badly secured loads traveling on our roads today !!!See the next few slides .

*Dec/02This is a 45 ton bulldozer that fell off a low bed trailer because...Load Restraint

*Dec/02Only two chains were used: not enough for a 45 ton dozer!Steel tracks on steel low-bed: low friction factor!Poor supervision: wrongly approved the loading (staff not properly trained)Driver: - too fast round a sharp bend - braked harshlyShould have used: - 4 chains - wood deck low-bedDriver should have: - travelled at speed safe for load and road conditionsLoad Restraint

*Dec/02ANOTHER EXAMPLE : a 28 ton backhoe retained with just ONE chain the rock-breaker is totally unrestrainedBoth would fall off in sharp or sudden turn: and could easily kill someone......Single chainRock-breaker loose on the deckLoad Restraint

*Dec/02Wrong:high bed trailerheadboard split & broken: no protection to driver (would be crushed if load moved forward)chains slack and wrongly positionedCan you believe this??Load Restraint

*Dec/02Very slack chainsNo chocksIncorrect chain anglesTrailer bed is too narrowTyres overhang trailer: an unstable load ! Load Restraint

*Dec/02It is not only large loads that are not being secured correctly !!It also applies to small items.This truck is loaded with oil drums: 2 drums stand loose! These can easily fall over, roll around, get damaged and leak. Load Restraint

*Dec/02Here is a tall wooden crate restrained by a web lashing which had broken and was knotted in two placesDo not use lashings with knots: they are NOT strong.Throw them away! Destroy them! Do NOT use them!Load Restraint

*Dec/02Another totally unsecured load:six pallets of flexible water pipe with no lashings or any other load restraint used a length of rope had been placed across the top of the pallets, probably for decoration!web lashing belts should have been usedthey were lucky this load did not fall offLoad Restraint
