Keeping truckers healthy and aware in South Africa

Engen Petroleum, a leading producer and marketer of fuels, lubricants and oil-based products, has recognised the Cape Winelands as a welcome refuelling and refreshment stopover on the routes of long haulage companies with the launch of a permanent wellness clinic. Truck drivers passing through the Engen Winelands North 1-Stop at Joostebergvlakte along the N1 freeway just outside Cape Town can now undergo free health screenings and counselling while refuelling and resting.

A Trucking Wellness Clinic has been set up at the Engen Truck Stop facility on site. The health awareness initiative is aligned to Trucking Wellness, which is a National Bargaining Council for the Road Freight and Logistics Industry (NBCRFLI) programme. It is primarily dedicated to the wellness of people employed in the Road Freight and Logistics Industry.
