1. INTRODUCTION
This document supports the ROO Driving Safety Practice ROO-ALL-HSE-PRO-0004.

It sets forth the requirements for operating vehicles and self-propelled mobile plant &
equipment (SPMPE). The document covers the Driver-Related Practices and supports the
Vehicle-Related and Journey-Related Practices and is applicable to, but not limited to cars,
buses, vans, trucks, heavy goods vehicles, tankers, self-propelled mobile plant & equipment
and all other vehicles, including personal vehicles, used for Rumaila business.

Legal and General

at all times comply with Iraqi Law.

If any recommendation of this practice conflicts with applicable legal and regulatory
requirements, it is necessary to meet the applicable legal and regulatory requirements. If
following a recommendation in this practice creates a higher obligation, beyond any applicable
legal or regulatory requirements, this should be done as long as compliance with those
requirements is achieved.

Driving Safety Practice makes it very clear that, all persons including Drivers, Passengers and
Observers are responsible for stopping unsafe work or practices (Stop Work Authority). This

DRIVER SAFETY TRAINING – MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS


Rumaila Operating Organisation requires all drivers to be in possession of a valid ROO Driving
Safety Passport for the class or type of vehicle they are operating.
The ROO Driving Safety Passport authorises the driver to operate a vehicle (or SPMPE) and
can only be obtained after satisfactorily completing the Rumaila Introduction to Driving Course
(RIDC) specific to the particular class or type of vehicle they will be operating.

To keep the ROO Driving Safety Passport valid, the driver must attend a Refresher Course
annually where their skills will be assessed and feedback provided for improvement. Drivers
will also be provided additional defensive driver training utilising sate of the art Electronic
Driving Simulators. Use of the Simulators allows drivers to practice manoeuvres and improve
skills in a realistic environment without placing them in harm’s way.

Drivers may occasionally be required to attend Remedial Training following being reported for
a violation. The Remedial Training is designed to close any gaps in the driver’s competency,
reinforce the need to drive within the safe limits and retain authorisation to operate the vehicle.

Contractors shall complete the Contractor Fleet and Driver Profile Report (Appendix A)
and provide this electronically to the ROO HSE Land Transport Authority no later than the 4th
day of the following month.
