Safety Awareness is the first step in implementing a successful safety program. While establishing policies is essential, it is not sufficient to guarantee compliance. WOQOD ensures that safety policies remain a priority for employees in their daily operations. Furthermore, promoting safety awareness demonstrates WOQOD management’s commitment to employee well-being.
Road Safety:
Supplying the entire fuel needs of the State of Qatar is a tremendous responsibility. As the operator of the country's largest fleet, road safety remains a top priority. However, motor vehicle accidents continue to pose a significant risk to our business.
Our journey toward safer roads begins with strong leadership commitment, ensuring compliance and fostering continuous improvement. As part of our corporate controls, we rely on key metrics to enhance road safety. These metrics include the vehicle accident rate and its consequences, such as injuries, spills, or rollovers. The collected data informs decision-making and contributes to developing vehicle specifications that exceed regulatory requirements.
Driver behavior plays a critical role in our road safety program. New drivers are hired only after meeting a strict set of competencies. They undergo extensive training in defensive driving techniques and specialized tanker operations, addressing risks such as rollovers, load assessment, driver fatigue, and fitness to work.
Additionally, our Vehicle Tracking System enables real-time monitoring of driver performance, including daily routes, speeding incidents, hard braking, sharp acceleration, and seat belt compliance. This system is installed in all our vehicles as an integral part of our comprehensive road safety strategy.

Road Tanker Operator Safety Awareness Campaign:

The campaign aimed to raise awareness of driving regulations, highlight common driver mistakes to avoid, and encourage drivers to adopt safe driving behaviors.
