Development of safe driving skills

Road Safety our Responsibility

As per the World Health Organization Global Status Report on Road Safety, more people die in road accidents in India than anywhere else in the world. According to the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) a t least 13 people die every hour from road accidents in the country.

Group NRW respects human lives, values its employees, and invests in innovative technologies and solutions towards the improvement of road safety and protection of economic wealth. By providing proper training and counselling to our drivers, we have been able to minimize the number of accidents. Our drivers are trained in safe and defensive driving. We are in association with AIMTC (All India motor transport congress) and various association and organisation actively involved in working towards establishing better industry standards.

Further, in order to reduce the incidences of accidents, we advise our drivers to rest compulsorily between 2 am to 5 am, the time during which maximum accidents occur. Comfortable resting places and wash room facilities have been provided to the drivers / labour at major trans shipment hubs so that they may take rest, thus reducing road fatigue and improving road safety. In adherence to road safety rules, we ensure that our drivers do not carry any person on board other than one assigned by company. We organize driver safety camp to train the trucks drivers to follow the road safety rules.

Green environment initiative

Trees are essential to our life on the planet due to numerous social benefits.They act as the lungs of the planet by breatheing carbon dioxide and breathe out oxygen they also provide habitat for birds and other wildlife. Some studies have shown that trees can greatly improve the mental and physical health of residents and workers, seeing the large scope of benefits we as humans can play an active role in planting trees to help offset deforestation and urbanization.

To fulfill this prime social obligation we organize tree plantation camps time to time in order to maintain green and clean environment around us. The work is done by own selves and sometimes by helping certain groups and social organisations seeking help. We are associated with certain NGOs engaged in this social work as a duty towards our mother earth.

Road shows for creating awareness

A startling study indicates that almost 40 percent of India's truck drivers and their helpers are infected with AIDS virus and there is an urgent need to create awareness among this community to check the spread of the fatal disease among masses.

So in addition to general training and awareness creation in house programmes we regularly organise the road shows at drivers collecting points to create awareness against various diseases and bad habbits common among truck drivers. The issues that are talked about in the discussion include the routes of HIV transmission, myths and misconceptions regarding the transmission of HIV, preventive measures against HIV, condom use demonstration and HIV testing in case of doubt, The work is done with the help of various NGOs, societies and trade associations.
