Vehicle and Traffic Safety Course in Doha, Qatar

The Vehicle and Traffic Safety course in Doha, Qatar focuses on workplace transport: the movement of trucks, vans, cars, forklifts and plant inside yards, factories, depots, campuses and facilities. Learners study why vehicle-pedestrian collisions, reversing incidents and overturns happen, and how to prevent them through a safe site, safe vehicles and safe drivers. Key themes include segregation of pedestrians and vehicles, one-way systems, speed control, signage, lighting and banksman procedures.

The course is practical and design-oriented. Learners sketch and review site traffic plans, evaluate crossing points and parking areas, and apply the hierarchy of controls to real workplace layouts. Case studies show how simple measures such as barriers, drive-through loading and reversing aids reduce risk. Leaders Training Center can run the course as an in-house program for organizations with busy sites, using their own layouts, vehicle types and delivery patterns as the working examples.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Identify workplace transport hazards including reversing, overturning and falling loads.

• Design segregation of pedestrians and vehicles using barriers, walkways and crossings.

• Develop site traffic rules covering speed, one-way systems, parking and signage.

• Explain safe reversing practices, including banksman signals and reversing aids.

• Apply the hierarchy of controls to a site traffic management plan.

• Set up checks for vehicle condition and driver competence on site.

This course is for people who plan, manage or work within sites where vehicles and pedestrians share space.

• Facility, site and yard managers

• Logistics and transport supervisors

• HSE officers and safety coordinators

• Security staff controlling site access

• Banksmen, marshals and drivers working on site

Module 1: Workplace Transport Risks

• Common workplace transport incidents and causes

• Safe site, safe vehicle, safe driver framework

• Risk assessment of vehicle movements on site

• Roles of managers, drivers, pedestrians and visitors

Module 2: Segregating Pedestrians and Vehicles

• Separate routes, barriers and protected walkways

• Designing pedestrian crossings and visibility splays

• One-way systems and drive-through loading layouts

• Signs, road markings and lighting to ISO 7010

Module 3: Reversing, Loading and Unloading

• Eliminating or minimizing reversing movements

• Banksman roles, hand signals and exclusion zones

• Cameras, sensors and reversing alarms

• Safe loading, load securing and preventing falls from vehicles

Module 4: Site Traffic Rules and Management

• Speed limits, parking areas and access control

• Contractor and delivery driver site induction

• Vehicle checks and driver competence records

• Monitoring, audits and near-miss reporting

Industrial areas, ports, logistics parks, utility sites and large facilities in Qatar handle constant movements of trucks, tankers, buses and service vehicles alongside workers and visitors. Heat, glare and night shifts add to the challenge. Employers are expected to manage these risks under Ministry of Labour oversight, and well-planned site traffic systems protect people and assets. Building this capability supports safe, efficient operations across energy, logistics and facilities management and the human development goals of Qatar National Vision 2030.
