Road Transportation Safety Program
Health & Safety
About the Program
Road freight industry (with the contractors) drive around 1.1 billion kilometers each year to deliver products to the customers or keep the operations running in the KSA. That’s equivalent to driving about 75 times around the world each day. Getting road freight safety right is a priority – and a serious challenge. We help keep our drivers and supervisors safe through training programmes, by limiting their journeys, and by enforcing our global road safety standards. We work with communities and global partners to improve road transport safety in the countries where we operate.
