Health, Safety & Environmental Bulletin No 243
K Parmentier – 28 April 2011
Driver Distraction
Please see enclosed self explanatory safety bulletin received from ABB.
Driving is one of the most dangerous activities we carry out. Ensure you stay focused
whilst driving, and do not allow distractions to interrupt you. Never attempt to answer a
mobile phone or use any other hand held device whilst driving.
Keep your mind on the task - it is possible to be wide awake but still asleep at the wheel.
Risk management is a big step towards accident prevention; however, it is dependent on the risk firstly
being identified, then controlled. We need safety awareness to be instinctive and form an integral part
of both our working and home lives; it is this, in turn, that may save the lives of others. Remember: if
shared, risks can be mitigated before they pose a threat.
If you have any queries regarding the Safety Bulletin content or require further information please
contact any staff member of Xmo Strata Ltd.
