1. INTENT
The health and safety of all Metso Outotec employees is of paramount importance
when we engage in work activities throughout the world.  One of the most
challenging aspects of ensuring that our workers are provided with a safe workplace
is the transportation of our people to the various work locations at our customer
sites. Travel to our work sites can often present unique and challenging situations
when it comes to keeping our workers safe. 
The purpose of this Travelling Guideline (hereinafter referred to as Guideline) is to
provide a framework for the safe management of all travel in country and on site in
order to maintain security, prevent accidents, injuries or incidents, and to protect the
environment.

2. SCOPE
This Guideline presents a summary of Health and Safety procedures to be adopted
during visits to Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mutoshi Project site by Metso
Outotec project team members.
Guideline is prepared based on Metso Outotec internal regulations on Health and
Safety during traveling, and our Global Travel Policy
(https://outotec.sharepoint.com/sites/Travel)

3. COUNTRY OVERVIEW
Source: Democratic Republic of the Congo | Culture, History, & People | Britannica
Democratic Republic of the Congo is a country located in central Africa. Officially
known as the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the country has a 25-mile (40-km)
coastline on the Atlantic Ocean but is otherwise landlocked. It is the second largest
country on the continent; only Algeria is larger. The capital, Kinshasa, is located on
the Congo River about 320 miles (515 km) from its mouth. The largest city in central
Africa, it serves as the country’s official administrative, economic, and cultural
centre. The country is often referred to by its acronym, the DRC, or called Congo
(Kinshasa), with the capital added parenthetically, to distinguish it from the other
Congo republic, which is officially called the Republic of the Congo.
Congo is rich in natural resources. It boasts vast deposits of industrial
diamonds, cobalt, and copper; one of the largest forest reserves in Africa; and about
half of the hydroelectric potential of the continent.
Traditional African religious beliefs in a supreme being, the power of the ancestors,
spirits of nature, and the efficacy of magic have been greatly influenced by the
introduction of Christianity in Congo. There is a very sizable Christian population,
the largest proportion of which is Roman Catholic. Other Christians include
Protestants and followers of the local sect of the Church of Jesus Christ on Earth
Through the Prophet Simon Kimbangu (Kimbanguist Church). The remainder of the

Road conditions are poor, and routes often become impassable during the rainy
season (July to August in Kinshasa; see Natural Disasters section in our Travel
security guide for other provinces) (information from ISOS page June 2022)
Always use seatbelts!
The risk of accidents increases at night as most roads lack adequate lighting.
Signage is in French. Traffic drives on the right and foreigners need an international
driving permit. Motorists should not use mobile phones while driving as this is
illegal. The National Highways Authority manages to maintain only a fraction of the
country's 100,000 miles (160,000km) of road and only a few hundred miles are
properly surfaced. Four-wheel drive (4WD) vehicles are essential.
The customer also recommends that staying on site is preferred. If required to go
outside then site procedure must be followed i.e. must go via organized company
transport, always carry valid visa copy/DGM doc and must be accompanied by

o All meals will be served at the canteen and no room delivery


available on site.

o On weekends company will arrange visit to Town Supermarket and


will be communicated accordingly.
See attachment 4 for food safety.

10.3. Crime
Armed crime, including carjacking, poses a threat. Most armed carjackings take
place at night. Local villagers often dismantle bridges and sections of the road to
force travelers to stop. They will then offer their services for hire to put the bridge
back together. Drivers should not stop for suspicious-looking accidents at the
roadside, or at intersections where suspicious-looking individuals are loitering, as
these may be traps set by criminals.
Roadblocks and checkpoints set up by the security forces are common across the
country, including in Kinshasa, especially after dark. However, these are not clearly
marked, and travelers may be required to present their identification documents,
which should be shown through closed windows as criminal groups are known to
use roadblocks to rob travelers. Ill-disciplined security personnel have detained and
questioned travelers at military checkpoints.
Taxis are available but are poorly maintained and unreliable. Business personnel
should either book a taxi through their hotel or hire a private car and driver.

10.4. Weather conditions


Despite being on the equator, temperatures are relatively low; in Kinshasa, mean

11. CULTURAL TIPS


11.1. General tips

 People are generally open and accommodating in both personal and


business dealings. However, on first meetings it is appropriate to behave in
a formal manner.
 Casual clothing is acceptable. Beach wear should be confined to the beach
or poolside.
 A permit is required if you plan to take photographs.
 Photographing public buildings, military installations, international borders,
airports and the banks of the Congo River is prohibited. Offenders can
expect to be arrested, held for at least several hours and fined. Film and
cameras may also be confiscated. To avoid such a situation, restrict
photography to private homes or ask permission before taking photographs.

 Traffic and pedestrians stop for the raising and lowering of the Congolese
national flag. The ceremony is held every day, usually at 07.30 and 18.00.
 It is important to enquire about family, health and work after greeting.
 Men and women do not shake hands unless the woman extends her hand
first. A younger person waits for an older person to offer their hand first

11.2. Business tips

 Lightweight suits are appropriate business attire.


 Business is almost always conducted in French. Interpreter/translation
services are available.
 Make business appointments in advance and anticipate delays and difficulty
in arranging them. Also anticipate longer delays when meeting more senior
government figures.
 Reconfirm appointments in advance.
 Official corruption became institutionalized under the Mobutu regime (1965-
97). Business visitors should anticipate requests for presents (cadeaux).
 Local expediters are often useful for providing background knowledge of
conditions and contacts during business visits. A wide range of individuals,
many of whom are trained professionals without regular employment offering
consultancy services, are available to provide valuable support including
translating and interpreting, making appointments with key officials,
following-up meetings with local businesses, and arranging accommodation
and transportation.
 Punctuality is important, but flexible time schedules with delays of up to one
hour are not uncommon.
 Shake hands when meeting and leaving.
 Do not use a contact's first name unless invited to do so; ‘monsieur',
‘madame' and ‘mademoiselle' are the standard forms of address.
 Business cards are exchanged after introductions.
 The Congolese keep their phones switched on at all times. It is not
considered rude to answer the phone during a meeting. Some people,
seeking to minimize costs, will call a phone and then quickly ring off, a
practice known as ‘flashing' or ‘beeping'. If the number is known and the call
welcomed, expatriate personnel are advised to call back.

11.3. Businesswomen

Female executives may find that they are not taken seriously in business
negotiations and may encounter difficulty trying to establish authority. However,
there is respect for job titles, and it may be helpful to spell out lines of authority
clearly by sending corporate information (in French) to all parties prior to arrival.

Women travelling alone could experience some harassment, though this is usually
more annoying than dangerous; they should dress conservatively, avoid eye contact
and walk purposefully. Commonsense security precautions should also be observed
regarding choose of transport and accommodation.
