2. Transportation Tuesday  7 non-recordable accidents in the Middle East in the last month  These might be considered minor, but they tell us that we’ve lost concentration … we’re thinking of other things instead of staying safe. WATCH OUT! The iceberg rule tells us that if we don’t cut out the near misses, then we are building towards a disaster.

5. Transportation Tuesday MORE NEAR MISSES - WHAT’S MAKING THE DIFFERENCE TO OUR SAFETY FOCUS AT THE MOMENT? It’s summertime.  It’s hot. We’re fatigued and tired. And so are the other drivers.  Lots of people are on vacation - perhaps our supervisor isn’t there to remind us to stay safe, or keep us focused.  There are fewer people to talk to and fewer people to watch out for us.  We’re thinking about our own vacation - worrying about flights and families. We’re distracted.

6. Transportation Tuesday Be good to ourselves … drive defensively  Avoid driving at risky times (just after lunch, or when we’re tired, or late at night).  Avoid bad drivers - move aside and let the danger pass you by.  Keep scanning the road for potential hazards - burst tyres, things falling off lorries.  If you’re a passenger, pay attention and help the driver stay alert.  Don’t take risks. WARNING! ROAD IS USED BY CRAZY DRIVERS WHAT CAN WE DO?
