This van was driving from Muscat to Marmul.

This van was driving from Muscat to Marmul. A
tire blew and it rolled over. Driver and
passenger were wearing their seat belts. Both
came out with minor injuries (cuts and bruises).
Seatbelts saved 2 lives. Again!!
2
There was NO screen between cargo space and
cabin. The cargo was not secured. Both persons
were lucky that these loose items did not kill
them.

  avoided material by truck, technicians by bus or

• Discuss in your team
• Do your vehicles comply with RAS? Your
  (sub)-contractors? Have you checked it?
• What trips do you and your contractors have to
  make?
• How can your team reduce the kms you have to
  drive?
• Have you thought about better alternatives
  flights, bus, combining with another
  contractor/team?
• BUT THE MAIN THING WE LEARNED AGAIN
• SEAT-BELTS SAVE LIVES ONLY IF YOU WEAR THEM !!
• Drive to Survive
