Jotun Paints the no 1 in paints in Oman and represented in over 100 countries across all continents is known for various corporate social responsibility initiatives in Oman.

Recently the company launched the 'Drive Safely' campaign to educate school students about road safety and in turn influence their parents about observing traffic rules.

The Jotun team has been visiting various schools in Muscat and has explained to over 6000 schoolchildren about the importance of road safety through educational leaflets. Beautifully illustrated the leaflets show the importance of all passengers in a vehicle wearing seat belts following the speed limit and avoid using the cell phone while driving which distracts the driver from concentrating on the road.

Seat belts are designed to secure the occupant of a vehicle against harmful movement that may result while applying the brakes suddenly or during collision. These safety devices help save lives by preventing passengers from making contact with the interior of the vehicle or from falling out. The leaflet also highlights the benefits of slowing down vehicles and allowing children to cross the road safely.

Speaking about the 'Drive Safely' campaign Bjorn Skjelby general manager Jotun Paints Oman said 'At Jotun safety is of paramount importance both at our work place at home and while driving. Our effort is to influence the safety habit at a very young age in school children and spread the message to parents.'
