By: Bakwena Liam Clarke, commercial manager at Bakwena, says incident management within road safety management is an operational function, which forms part of the requirements of the concession contract with SANRAL, but is also key to achieving Bakwena’s vision of zero fatalities on the N1N4 route. “Accidents contribute to delays, bottlenecks and congestion in traffic flow. This is compounded by the time it takes to detect, activate a response and access the scene of an accident by emergency and law enforcement personnel. The deployment of an incident management programme is therefore vital for prudent and innovative measures to be employed to deal with accidents swiftly and efficiently to keep our roads operating as optimally as possible.” The simulation made use of a scenario of an “accident” RIMS undertakes simulation exercises on a regular basis to monitor the capabilities of emergency personnel along the Bakwena N1N4 and TRAC N4 route. “At Bakwena, the safety and driving pleasure of our road users is paramount to what we do. Incident management continues to prove a viable tool in dealing with accidents efficiently to maintain open roads and free traffic flow, we remain committed to strengthening our relationship with all the role-players,” End
