Parcel service on road safety set up at the start of the new school year
Best, 4 September 2017 – On 1 August, DPD Parcel service entered into a partnership with the Victor Veilig Safety First project. The Victor Veilig project is aimed at the safety of children playing on the street and makes use of bright yellow dolls. Through the partnership, DPD makes it possible for its drivers to place the dolls in the areas in which they operate. Collaboration with the Safety First project is in line with DPD’s safety policy. The parcel service sees it as its responsibility to improve road safety in residential areas.
Drivers who work for DPD are aware of Victor Veilig’s importance for the safety of children playing. Victor Veilig’s bright yellow colour ensures a level of visibility for motorists and other road users. Using the doll at busy crossroads, nurseries or schools makes it a little is safer for children playing on the street. With its light weight and handles, the doll is easy to install.
“Our buses can be found on the road every day, including in residential areas where children are playing. Road safety is key for DPD, particularly the safety of children playing and certainly now that the schools have gone back. We want to take our responsibility seriously as a logistics provider by supporting Victor Veilig.”
