TRL is hosting a webinar looking at how the UNHCR is improving road safety for its fleet of 10,000 vehicles.
UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, undertakes vital work protecting vulnerable people forced to flee their homes. It delivers life-saving assistance in emergencies, safeguards fundamental human rights, and helps find long-term solutions so people can find a safe place to call home.
To keep UNHCR teams working round the clock, around the world, it operates a fleet of around 10,000 vehicles – everything from motorcycles to armoured trucks. All sizes, shapes, makes, models and ages.
These vehicles cover thousands of miles a year, often in remote and inhospitable conditions. As with many organisations operating large fleets, road crashes pose a significant threat to the health and safety of their personnel, their partners, ‘Persons of Concern’ and the local communities in which they operate.
Understanding the causal and contributory factors in collisions involving their vehicles is a key focus for UNHCR.
The webinar will feature Carlos Roberto Guemez Shedden, senior road safety coordinator at UNHCR’s Road Safety Unit, and Craig Arnold, TRL’s UN Technical Lead, who will explain how TRL is supporting UNHCR across the globe with independent and impartial investigation of collisions involving their vehicles.
The webinar is taking place on Friday 22nd March at 11am – click here to register (FOC).
