This week, the Road Safety Committee has conducted several events aimed at raising awareness and educating RAF Brize Norton personnel on safer driving practices.
Survive the Drive – More than 60 individuals attended a presentation by Sergeant Grogan regarding the dangers of drinking and driving, distractions while driving, and speeding. The briefing included real-life accounts from those affected by dangerous driving, ranging from emergency services personnel to family members of individuals who have lost their lives in road traffic collisions.
Slow Down on Station – The RAF Brize Norton Police Flight conducted a day of monitoring driver speeds on the Station, not only to educate those exceeding the speed limit but also to serve as a reminder of the Station's speed regulations.
Manoeuvring and Reversing training – ASMT conducted a training session for Station personnel to emphasize the significance of awareness while operating a vehicle in the vicinity of the airfield and the necessity of adhering to instructions from a marshaller. The session commenced with a briefing that presented alarming statistics regarding incidents involving aircraft and the potential costs of damages resulting from a lack of due diligence behind the wheel. This was followed by practical assessments designed for participants to practice and acquire new skills.
