It is estimated that 80% of South Africa’s road fatalities result from human error.
In response to the challenges of transforming driver behaviour and to support global road safety initiatives, Optix has introduced Safe&Sound, comprising nine integral solutions, that is designed to cultivate a culture of safety and responsibility among professional drivers.
Safe&Sound facilitates shared attitudes, beliefs, behaviours and practices related to road safety, fostering a collective commitment to preventing accidents and saving lives.
Aligning with global and national road safety imperatives, solutions directly support two of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that are focused on improving road safety:
- Goal 3.6: Aiming to reduce road injuries and deaths.
- Goal 11.2: Focusing on affordable and sustainable safe transport systems.
The successful implementation of Safe&Sound, combined with Optix’s in-cab solutions in nearly every driver’s cabin across South Africa would significantly enhance road safety. This dual approach aims to make our roads safer for all users, ultimately achieving the goal of bringing everyone safely home.
