Workshop on the safety of transporting workers during fog

Abu Dhabi (Al Ittihad)

The Traffic and Patrols Directorate in the Central Operations Sector of Abu Dhabi Police has taken a number of preventive measures during the formation of fog, as part of its traffic safety plan, which included intensifying road surveillance and stopping the movement of trucks, heavy vehicles and buses on the emirate’s roads until visibility is clear.
The directorate organized an introductory and educational workshop to raise awareness of traffic on the safety of transporting workers during fog and weather fluctuations, in the presence of key partners and officials of bus and truck traffic in private sector companies and institutions, stressing the need to adhere to ensuring safety for workers during their transportation by buses, especially in times of fog.
Brigadier General Salem Al Dhaheri, Deputy Director of the Traffic and Patrols Directorate stressed the importance of raising awareness about safe driving and reducing errors that drivers make during fog, which may lead to “individual and sequential” traffic accidents between vehicles.
