Shell Road Safety Leadership team meeting in Oman

Shell’s global road safety leadership team recently met in Muscat to discuss Shell’s ‘Global Road Safety Strategy’. The meeting focused on improving road safety for Shell, its partners and in the communities in which it operates. During the meeting, the road safety leadership team reviewed the positive developments on road safety in the Sultanate led by the efforts of the Royal Oman Police (ROP) and supported by Petroleum Development Oman (PDO).

During their visit to Oman, the team met with PDO’s HSE Manager - Mohamed Al Salmani, to share learnings and to further strengthen collaboration between Shell and PDO in the road safety arena.

“Road safety is an integral part of Shell’s business and our social responsibility programme globally. It is a major focus of the Shell business in Oman and an area in which we believe we can contribute effectively, by raising awareness in various communities - including our own staff, stakeholders and joint venture partners. We share our road safety experience and knowledge proactively with other companies, the government, non-governmental organizations and local communities. With our joint-venture partners, we engage on a number of initiatives that tackle the challenges in road safety, and that help raise awareness amongst community members”, stated Chris Breeze, Shell’s Country Chairman in Oman.
