There are just a few days left to enter the SABOA Fleet Safety Awards! The Awards were designed specifically for the bus industry and the unique challenges operators and fleet managers face within this sphere. Consequently, these Awards seek to recognise and reward those responsible for creating an organisation that leads the way in creating safe roads.
The SABOA Fleet Safety Awards are a first-of-its-kind in southern Africa. The CEO of MasterDrive, Eugene Herbert, explains: “Despite buses playing a major role in moving people around, whether that be locally or long-distance, little recognition is paid to organisations that do this safely. The Awards are the first step toward changing the attention paid to the efforts of operators and fleet managers in ensuring the safety of both passengers and drivers.
“Thus, if your organisation prioritises road safety as an essential in ensuring that you run an organisation that others can take an example from, do not hesitate to submit your name into the running. There are just a few days before entries for the first round close and no further entries can be submitted. Those who have received entry into the second round, can still complete their entries.”
Not only do the Awards pay recognition to models of road safety but reward them with considerable prizes. “Winning the title of Best Operator or Best Fleet Manager is sweetened by adding a financial show of appreciation to the pot as well. Those who do their part to improve the dismal road fatality stats South Africa has become infamous for, can win cash prizes among other valuable prizes.
“The winner of Best Fleet Manager will walk away with a R10 000 cash prize. Additionally, the top placing entrant will also win a fleet management course to take their skills to even higher level. It is not just the Best Fleet Manager category that will be well-rewarded. The winner of Best Operator category receives the floating trophy, aptly named after an illustrious figure dedicated to improving road safety, who will be revealed at the Awards.”
The ultimate goal of the Awards is to promote road safety. “The Awards are the ideal opportunity to encourage, reward and promote a culture of safety amongst those who hold the safety of so many passengers within their hands. MasterDrive looks forward to Awarding these individuals and organisations for the first time,” says Herbert.
