For most people, trains are a symbol of movement, connection, and precision. For Vhahangwele Mahlangu, they are also a daily reminder of the importance of safety. As a train driver in the transportation sector, she carries a profound responsibility: ensuring that trains move safely and on time, while safeguarding passengers, colleagues, and infrastructure.
“I drive trains, and my primary responsibility is to ensure that trains move safely and on time from point A to point B,” she explains. “My role requires constant focus, vigilance, and adherence to strict safety standards.”
This unwavering dedication to safety inspired her to take the next step in her professional growth. Already serving as a SHE (Safety, Health, and Environment) representative at work, Vhahangwele wanted to formalize her knowledge and equip herself with globally recognized safety skills.
