Fog Alert
Fog Expected February 16 - 18, 2020

The following document is provided for information / education purpose only.

Please distribute to all work places and workers accommodation facilities.

All,

This morning’s foggy weather has created an increased risk while driving to work and is a dangerous
challenge for all of us. Fog reduces our ability to see the road, other vehicles, pedestrians, buildings, and
signs on the road. We should all anticipate hazards associated with it and be prepared to react safely to
the mistakes other drivers commonly make during these conditions.

Tips in driving during foggy weather:

• Avoid driving in heavy fog if possible. If you encounter foggy or misty conditions, find a safe
place to park the vehicle and wait until visibility improves before driving again.
• If you must drive in fog, drive slowly. Maintain a safe stopping distance from other vehicles.
• Remember that the road surface may be wet, which will increase the distance needed to stop.
• Turn on the defroster and fan to eliminate condensation on the inside of your windows.
• Use low-beam lights. In fog, high beams reflect back to the driver, will reduce the visibility
further. Never drive with your hazard lights on as they indicate that you have actually stopped.

• Compensate for diminished visual information by relying more on sound. Turn off the radio and
set the blower motor on the lowest level that keeps the windshield clear. If possible, roll down
the window so you can hear other vehicles.
• Watch for the vehicle ahead of you, so you can respond safely if you see its brake lights come
on. Increase your following distance from two seconds to four, or even six seconds.
• Avoid sudden stops and turns. Remember, the driver behind you cannot see well, either. Pump
the brakes well ahead of where you plan to stop and if turning, put on your turn signals early so
drivers behind you have ample warning of your intentions. Sudden braking can result in skidding
that may cause an accident.
• If visibility is extremely poor, you must pull off the road and park in an area as far away from
traffic as possible. Turn off your headlights and turn on your 4-way flashers. If there is a secure
spot nearby, leave your vehicle and go there. If you choose to stay in the car, keep your seat belt
fastened for protection in case another vehicle strikes your car.
• Dense fog can drastically impair visibility, so while working in a foggy area take additional care to
judge the way you pass to avoid any possible hit with objects.

As per Lusail policy, all Construction Activity (especially vehicle movement, plant equipment, lifting
operations) shall be halted when visibility is reduced or poor to continue safely. The activity may resume
once the conditions improve throughout the day.
