Robari ... stepping up skills base.

Massar certifies 90 drivers in skills initiative

ABU DHABI, June 23, 2015

Massar Solutions, a market leader in vehicle rental, fleet and supply chain solutions in the UAE, certified 90 drivers on completion of a driver skills enhancement programme offered at its training facility in Musaffah, Abu Dhabi, UAE.

The training was delivered as part of Massar Solutions’ mission to ramp up driver skills to ensure efficient supply chain operations.  

The training was conducted in Hindi, Urdu and English and the topics covered included driver responsibilities (on and off road), road safety and accident management, defensive driving, driver behaviour and attitude, laws of the road, product awareness and protection, practical checking of vehicles and two assessments.  

Faisal Jasim Robari, general manager – Human Resource,  Massar Solutions said:  “We are extremely pleased to have introduced an industry-centred drivers’ training programme at Massar. It is crucial to ensure that these drivers have the knowledge, skills, abilities and attitude necessary to perform competently in a field which is prone to a number of health and safety challenges – be it road accidents or impact on products integrity.”

Brent Melvin, general manager - Supply Chain Division, Massar Solutions said: “Through the training programme, we were able to focus on critical areas of their responsibilities by offering best practice guidance on key elements from an organizational, behavioural and technical point of view. The drivers were able to understand the importance of their role on the road and within the larger supply chain, and how to manage these levels of responsibility on a daily basis.”

An individual personal inspection was conducted on each driver to review HSE measures such as uniform, protective boots and personal hygiene. This was followed by an initial assessment on driver knowledge at the start of the course, with a thorough final assessment paper undertaken at the end of the course with questions based on the subjects covered during the throughout. The outdoor practical exercise took drivers through a detailed vehicle checking procedure prior to commencing deliveries.

“We were especially pleased by their enthusiasm throughout the training. The certificates were highly treasured by the drivers and for many it was the first accolade they had received as professional drivers. The pride displayed by the drivers and their obvious increase in morale were extremely rewarding for the trainers,” Brent added.

The course will be provided to the remainder of Massar Solutions drivers during the coming months, a statement said. – TradeArabia News Service
