Dubai Police trains school bus drivers and supervisors on student safety

Dubai Police has delivered a series of awareness workshops to 476 school bus drivers and supervisors to reinforce safety practices.

The workshops, organised by the Traffic Education Department at Swiss International School in Al Jaddaf, reached 289 school bus drivers and 187 supervisors of the Maverick Bus Transport group.

Sessions covered student safety, the responsibilities of drivers and supervisors and key practices that can help reduce road risks and crashes.

Drivers were reminded to comply with traffic laws, observe speed limits, maintain a safe distance from other vehicles and avoid distractions, particularly mobile phone use while driving and prevent behaviour that could endanger students or distract the driver.

They were also urged to check the condition of their buses before starting each journey, stop only at designated locations and never move until students are safely seated wearing seatbelts and the doors are closed.

Students were also provided with practical advice, including waiting for buses in a safe location away from the road and approach only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop, as well as avoiding putting their heads or hands outside of windows.

Participants were introduced to Dubai Police’s Road Safety Platform, which provides awareness content on road behaviour and risks, including topics related to school transport safety.

Drivers and supervisors were encouraged to use the platform’s educational materials to strengthen their knowledge and apply safer practices while transporting students.
