TotalEnergies is continuing its efforts to prevent road accidents with the second episode in its "I'm a #SafeDriver" campaign. Check out the best practices that three of the Company's employees have implemented to avoid fatigue and distractions behind the wheel.
Some of our employees and service providers spend several hours every day behind the wheel of a vehicle as part of their job. Our "I'm a #SafeDriver" series gives them chance to talk about the risks involved in driving and the best practices to ensure safe driving.
Drowsiness at the wheel is responsible for 20% of fatal road accidents*, and distractions for 25% of fatal accidents**. That is why we are focusing this second episode in our series on fatigue and distractions behind the wheel.
