Through a mixed methods approach this thesis investigates the road safety and operational culture of heavy vehicle drivers in Oman. The research found evidence of a low level of road safety compliance across much of the heavy vehicle industry in Oman. The research identified many unsafe driving behaviours and attitudes that were well established within the industry and its operations. Many of these behaviours and attitudes were facilitated and encouraged by lack of safety regulations and enforcement at different systems levels. The outcomes of this research have a broad range of applications in the area of road safety in Oman and similar countries.
