Vehicle Rollover

What happened:


On March 28, 2014 at around 9 am, a contract driver was travelling to BVS station- to pick up the pipeline engineer, encountered with a big pot hole on the road, drifted away from the road resulting in a roll over. The driver escaped with minor injuries but the vehicle sustained damages.

Why it happened:

Poor Road Conditions and no sign boards. High Speed of the vehicle.

No HSE Induction for the driver and hence was unaware of the hazards.

Fatigue- The driver was assigned for work for the previous 40 days without rest.

Lessons Learned:

ü   Plan the journeys to Journey Management Plan.

ü   The road conditions shall be monitored regularly and repaired as required.

ü   Proper sign boards will enable the driver to encounter the hazards effectively.

ü   Site HSE Induction shall include details of road conditions which will enable new drivers to get familiarize with it.
ü   Proper and sufficient rest to drivers will make them more alert against hazards.
