Know the Hazards

MAKE SURE YOUR BRAKE WORKS

Test the brake on your truck at the start of each shift.  

Know the distance it takes to stop before you start 

working.

If at any time the stopping distance is too long for 

you to stop safely, don't drive the truck  Report any 

problem to your supervisor.

SIMILAR LOOKING TRUCKS CAN BE DIFFERENT

Your company has selected the options which are best 

for your work area.     

If you ever drive a different truck, even one that looks 

just like yours, be careful.  It may not have the same 

controls, functions, or options.
