To mark National Road Safety Month, Amazon India has launched multi-city road safety awareness and training workshops for more than 80,000 delivery associates, partners, and truck drivers across its operations network. The initiative reinforces Amazon’s focus on safer driving practices and responsible road behavior across last-mile and mid-mile operations nationwide.

Salim Memon - Director of Operations, Amazon India, said, “The safety of our employees and delivery partners is fundamental to how we operate every day. Road safety is deeply embedded in our training, processes, and on-ground practices. Through regular, hands-on training and real-world learning, we equip our delivery associates and line haul drivers to navigate everyday road conditions safely. By consistently reinforcing responsible behaviour and the correct use of safety gear, we continue to strengthen safety standards across our logistics network while contributing to safer roads for the communities we serve.”

The month-long initiative blends mandatory on-ground training with interactive sessions on helmet and seat belt compliance, safe riding and driving, speed management, distraction prevention, and emergency preparedness. Practical drills reinforce lane discipline, signage awareness, safe vehicle distance, and simple practices such as hydration breaks, and ‘Phone away before ignition’. These efforts are supported by action-led measures including ‘No Helmet, No Ride’ drives, helmet inspections, pre-ride checks, peer-led demonstrations of best practices, and the distribution of ISI-marked helmets to hundreds of associates.

Amazon continues to implement sustained awareness efforts and technology-led safety solutions, including pre-departure vehicle inspections, helmet adherence monitoring, real-time speeding alerts, doorstep safety prompts, and instant access to third-party ambulance services during emergencies. Together, these measures aim to embed a safety-first culture across operations while supporting safer communities
