The Human Resources Management Directorate conducted an improved driver’s refresher training for all regional and headquarters drivers in the agency

According to the director of Human Resources Management, Magdalene Bio, employees are the agency’s most valuable resource, and their safety must be prioritised as they carry out the agency’s mandate.

When the driving skills of drivers are intact, we can save lives, manual labour, and also resources for future expenditure.

The agency’s performance depends on all members of staff, including drivers. They are in charge of transportation and logistics for other staff members. Because the government spends a lot of money on vehicle maintenance due to poor vehicle care and driving, periodic training will be provided to drivers to provide them with the necessary abilities to detect problems and manage simple repairs, all in the interest of saving lives and resources.

Engineer Robert demonstrated how skilled drivers must be when they become acquainted with their vehicles and road signs. The roadways communicate with us through traffic signs, and we must be responsive to practise defensive driving. To avoid accidents, we must respect the road, other road users, and on-road property. Drivers must demonstrate professionalism in their driving actions.

The senior fleet officer, Brima Lamin Ngobeh, supplemented the trainer engineer’s session by explaining automobile engine components and how the instrument panel dashboard conveys what is happening in the component. How we intercept indication messages improves road safety and preserves government assets.

The drivers’ refresher training, which included instructional slides and demonstrations, addressed how responsible driving, safety and security measures, road traffic signs, driving knowledge and abilities and attitude, and safeguarding and taking care of government vehicles must be improved for the benefit of all
