Lobbe and Blicki organize playful road safety education at schools
Diemelstadt / Warburg / Bad Arolsen. As an important group of companies for waste disposal and environmental services, Lobbe is on the road every day with heavy vehicles and technical equipment. The safety of citizens and especially children is a top priority. In cooperation with Blicki e.V., a playful workshop for children was held at the elementary school in Diemelstadt-Rhoden, Warburg-Scherfede and Bad Arolsen-Helsen.
Warburg's mayor Tobias Scherf was also present at the workshop in Warburg-Scherfede: "Many years ago, I myself was a victim of a road traffic accident as a child and therefore know how important and relevant road safety education is. We have to protect what is most important to us: our children! That's why I'm delighted about this great project at our elementary school." Among other things, the pupils were allowed to climb into the cab of the Lobbe vehicle and see for themselves that the entire school class disappears in the unusually large blind spot. "As a company with a very strong regional presence and a total of 1,400 trucks on German roads, we see it as our responsibility to raise awareness of the dangers posed by trucks in traffic," says Marcell Wiese, Managing Director of Lobbe Entsorgung GmbH.
In view of 23,000 personal accidents involving freight vehicles (as of 2022) in Germany, raising awareness of the risks on the road around large vehicles is the joint goal of Blicki e.V. and Lobbe. "Aware of its responsibility for other road users and especially children, Lobbe focuses on the safety of people and the environment as early as the training of its specialists. But even after the training, Lobbe regularly trains the drivers for the protection of other road users," says Marcell Wiese.
The Lobbe Group also continuously invests in modern vehicle technology and effective assistance systems. For the safety of children, however, it is also important to raise awareness of the risks on the road, especially around large vehicles. With Blicki e.V., the Lobbe Group has a partner that actively raises awareness in this area through child-friendly workshops and exciting learning methods. In the course of the cooperation with Blicki, the Lobbe Group supports this commitment to the safety of children and ensures the expansion of hazard education. In this way, Lobbe emphasizes responsible action in its daily core business with firm values. Two partners - one common goal.
The family business Lobbe has five main areas of business: Waste disposal, industrial services, sewer services, refurbishment and emergency management. The Lobbe Group has a total of 62 locations throughout Germany with more than 2,750 employees and generates an annual turnover of around 500 million euros.
