Petroleum Importers Limited conducted a two-day workshop of safety awareness trainings for drivers in the country, addressing matters that cause accidents on the road.

The PIL General Manager Martin Msimuko said the trainings are yielding effective results, stating that since the trainings begun, there has been a tremendous improvement in the delivery of our services. “Last year we had more than seven accidents but this year we have registered only one accident, this means that there is behavior change in drivers,” said Msimuko.

Msimuko said PIL takes bold steps in intensifying safety measures for all drivers to ensure that communities are secured.

“At PIL we understand that the product we carry is very dangerous to the society and drivers respectively. We regularly organize these refresher trainings to remind our drivers of necessary safety measures to ensure that everyone is safe and deliver our service efficiently,” he said.

PIL conducted the training In collaboration with International Haulage Brokers (IHB), addressing more than 100 drivers.
