Road and Passenger Safety

As part of the national strategy to minimize accident risks and resulting damages, road and passenger safety remains a core priority in SRT Béja's overall policy.

  • Structures responsible for road and passenger safety:
  • The "Quality, Safety, and Communication Department" (S.Q.C).

Established in June 1997, the SQC, which reports directly to the General Management, handles, among other tasks, monitoring, statistics, analysis, and addressing accident causes to propose appropriate solutions.

The Inspection Department Health and Safety Committee

staff, the medical-social unit, and the occupational physician.
The committee meets periodically to analyze
and monitor professional risks related to facility layouts,
road accidents, and equipment provided to staff.
It also proposes tailored training programs
and solutions for workplace and road safety issues.
