OREANDA-NEWS. March 19, 2013. ‘Udhailiyah Community Services Division (UCSD) recently held a recognition luncheon to recognize the safe driving practices of six of its contractor companies. Representatives from AMS, AFS, Samara, Tamimi, SRACO and Rezayat were presented with certificates for their safe driving record from October to December of last year.

This is the third recognition event since UCSD committed to reviewing the driving records of contractor employees every 90 days as part of a program to put the spotlight on safe driving.

A total of 206 contractor employees received certificates for their contribution to maintaining or improving the safe driving record of their company. The recipients were recognized for diligently complying with the driving safety standards set by Saudi Aramco.

Master of ceremonies Ruth Panelo introduced UCSD administrator Mohammed M. Khamsan, who congratulated the recipients on their excellent driving record.

In commenting on the improvement over the past three months, Khamsan noted two main factors: determination by the drivers to adhere to the safety standards, and more extensive training through the Safety House and Quality Assurance and Orientation Center. He noted the importance of teamwork in achieving the goal of no traffic violations or accidents — teamwork that begins with workers and their supervisors and is followed through with the support provided by Saudi Aramco training and inspections.

In closing, he urged everyone to strive for a violation-free year in 2013.
