DRIVING SAFETY

Safe driving means defensive driving. It means going to work or coming back home every day to be with your family and enjoy your personal life.

TITAN operates one of the largest fleets in Greece. More than 700 drivers perform daily transport operations as part of the Company’s activities.

This fact in itself urges us to place great emphasis on issues that concern road safety, both for our carriers and for all those affected by our activities.

Therefore:

  • We have integrated Driving Safety into the broader context of our Health and Safety at Work Management System.
  • We train drivers involved in transport operations in defensive driving, in order to ensure that they follow good practices, which will reduce the likelihood of their involvement in a traffic accident.
  • We carry out road safety inspections in order to determine the extent to which drivers comply with legislation and with the safety rules we have set.
  • We record and investigate every traffic incident.
    We apply corrective actions in order to prevent the recurrence of similar incidents in the future.
  • We set strict rules before embarking on a cooperation with carriers, in order to ensure that they can meet our road safety requirements.

Our constant goal is to forge a high-standard road safety culture for all our people –both employees and partners (contractors)– and set specific road safety rules within and outside our units, in order to ensure their safe operation and the smooth execution of all transport.

Indicatively, actions are currently in progress for the following:

  • Safe Driving

    Over 1,170 employees, contractors, partners and representatives of authorities participated in the specialized safety and traffic education programme organized by TITAN (September 2018-March 2019) at five of its units in Attiki, Achaia, Thessaloniki and Crete.

    The programme, which was coordinated by the Road Safety Institute “Panos Mylonas”, was developed in collaboration with 9 expert European organizations and was presented by experienced instructors. It included both theoretical training and hands-on experience.

    The programme aspired to acquaint drivers with the mistakes they make –often without actually realizing it– and to help them improve their driving behaviour when driving either commercial or private vehicles to avoid getting involved in traffic incidents.

    A key feature was the participation of local community bodies, including the Police, Road Traffic Police, Fire Service, Coast Guard, Emergency Rescue Squad (EMAK), etc., whose drivers are often exposed to high-risk driving conditions, and of representatives of the educational community (e.g. School Principals, Parents/Guardians Associations).

    Participants provided very positive comments, inasmuch as they felt that they could immediately apply the takeaways from the programme in their everyday life and thus improve their road safety behaviour.
