17 May 2011

Adrian Walsh, director RoadSafe co-chaired a workshop at Challenge Bibendum together with Ken Shaw, former fleet safety expert from BP, RoadSafe advisor and author of many good practice guides including FleetSafe .

The workshop brought together leading academics and practitioners from across the world to consider the costs of road accidents which represent a significant obstacle for the removal of poverty in developing and emerging countries. It considered case studies from the Driving for Better Business  campaign.

• The business case, public-private partnerships
• Assessment programs for cars, infrastructure, road users, and administration
• Driver training and certification programs / School programes
• Reducing road fatalities: fighting  poverty
