Know the Hazards

LOOK WHERE YOU'RE DRIVING

• Always be alert to the area around you and watch 

where you are driving. You could be pinned or 
crushed by objects intruding or poking into the 
operator area

• The hard cab structure reduces visibility and your 

ability to hear sounds outside the cab. Be even more 
careful when operating around pedestrians or other 
vehicles.

Driver distractions can cause accidents resulting in 
injury or even death.

• Don’t use cell phones or similar devices while 

operating the truck.

• Frost and water on the glass could obstruct your 

vision. Wait for the window heaters to melt frost and 
use the wipers to clear the glass before operating 
your truck.

• Travel in the direction that gives you the best 

visibility.

• Never stick a foot or any part of your body outside 

the open door, no matter how slow the truck is 
moving. A foot or hand caught between the truck 
and the door, or any other fi xed object will be 
crushed or even cut off.

• Do not open the door while the truck is moving.

Stay clear of all
moving parts.

Moving parts can
cut or crush hands,
feet, arms or legs.
