Because when it comes to safety, everyone plays a key role — for themselves and for each other. 👊🏻   🎯 The goal? Raising awareness on how important it is to look out for one another as a team. How ? Knowing how to detect dangerous situations, daring to say so and accepting positive feedback.   Safety Week was a time for valuable discussions, sharing experiences, hands-on activities, quizzes, and collective commitments across all the countries where we operate.   Congratulations to all our teams for their commitment, professionalism, and energy! Safety isn’t a personal matter — it’s a collective accountability. And this week was a perfect reminder of that. 👏   #ColasRail #SafetyWeek2025 #SharedVigilance #StopAndGo #OneSafety #SafetyFirst #Commitment #International
