WHY THE ROAD SAFETY WEEK CAMPAIGN CELEBRATION IS NECESSARY

Celebrating the road safety campaign was initiated by the ISS India HSE (Health Safety and Environment).  to make people aware of the national road safety in the Indian subcontinent. ISS India had declared to celebrate Road Safety Week all through the country in the first week of the month of January. The aim of this campaign was to emphasize and accent people about the need for safe roads to travel by applying just simple rules.

According to the information, one lakh people become a victim of life-threatening problems such as mental shock, loss of memory, loss of hand or legs and so many others for their whole life.

Such conditions, especially in India, increase the importance and necessity of road safety measures. India has a huge population of road travelers such as two-wheelers, and four-wheelers on the road, that’s why they must know road safety.



It also needs efforts from different stakeholders such as the community, transport sector, insurance sector, health sector, police, legal sector, educational institutions, highway engineers, vehicle companies, public agencies, NGOs and etc.
