HSEQ
|
RDX Movements is committed to protecting people, cargo, communities, and the environment through disciplined health, safety, environmental, and quality controls.
Our Approach
Safety, environment, quality and operational control
RDX Movements operates with a practical HSEQ management approach designed for freight movement, loading and offloading activities, cross-border operations, warehouse handling, and route-based risk control. We are committed to protecting employees, clients, the public, and the environment from risks associated with transport and logistics operations.
Our HSEQ controls cover vehicle readiness, cargo handling, route planning, incident prevention, emergency response, and the condition of all equipment and operating spaces. We support this with preventive maintenance, driver coaching, operational supervision, and continuous monitoring.
To help reduce incidents and move toward zero harm, our fleet uses GPS telematics for route visibility, behaviour monitoring, and operational response. Drivers and operations teams receive regular training in defensive driving, first aid, fire response, emergency preparedness, and safe handling procedures for regulated cargo where required.
Safe Operations
Risk controls are built into loading, driving, unloading, warehouse handling, and route planning.
Fleet Visibility
Telematics and operational supervision improve route awareness, driver support, and incident response.
Training
Drivers receive ongoing coaching in first aid, fire response, emergency preparedness, and safe operating practice.
Environmental Care
We focus on spill prevention, maintenance discipline, and responsible response to incidents that may affect the environment.
Operational Controls
How RDX manages HSEQ risk
Telematics & Route Monitoring
Vehicles are monitored using GPS-based tools that support route visibility, safer behaviour, and quicker operational intervention when conditions change.
Spill Preparedness
Trucks carrying regulated or hazardous cargo are equipped with spill response materials for minor incidents, while larger incidents are escalated through emergency response procedures and specialist support partners.
Fire Protection
Fire extinguishers are carried and inspected so that drivers can contain small fires while wider escalation procedures are activated where necessary.
Cross-Border Readiness
For international trips and regulated loads, drivers carry route-specific emergency instructions, contact details, and document packs needed for cross-border response.
Daily Vehicle Checks
Daily pre-trip inspections help identify mechanical issues early, improve roadworthiness, and reduce the likelihood of incidents and environmental harm.
Equipment & Site Condition
Operational areas, loading spaces, and transport equipment are kept in good condition through inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping controls.
Preparedness
Emergency response and environmental care
Air Pollution Control
Preventive maintenance, disciplined servicing, and roadworthy fleet management help reduce unnecessary exhaust emissions and fuel inefficiencies.
Incident Escalation
Escalation procedures cover client communication, operational response, emergency support, and internal reporting after safety or environmental events.
Cargo-Specific Precautions
For regulated, hazardous, or fuel-related cargo, the transport plan is strengthened with route instructions, cargo controls, and response information.
Emergency Preparedness
Drivers and controllers are trained to respond calmly, protect people first, secure the scene, and activate internal and external emergency contacts quickly.
Compliance
Aligned with relevant standards and regulations
RDX Movements works to align its HSEQ practices with the operational and legal requirements relevant to transport, environmental management, hazardous substances, and cross-border freight movement in Zimbabwe and the wider region.
- Alignment with transport, environmental, and hazardous substances obligations relevant to the cargo being moved
- Route-specific compliance reviews before dispatch for cross-border and specialised operations
- Daily inspection, maintenance, and housekeeping practices that support quality and safe delivery
- Operational reporting that helps us track incidents, performance, and improvement opportunities
