Driver Safety: A
Lifetime of Learning |
|
 |
In the past 20-years, the number of miles of new
roads has increased only one percent, while the number of miles
driven has shot up 35 percent. Combine this ever increasing number
of vehicles with changing driver behavior, increased technology
and heavier vehicles, and you have a continuously changing driving
environment that can present many potential hazards.

Hazard Communication
|
|
 |
In today’s litigious society, we begin to

Lockout Tagout Procedures
|
|
 |
A person wouldn’t work at a place where they
spin the wheel each day to see if they get injured, yet millions
of workers inspecting, adjusting, servicing or maintaining equipment
and machinery take the same risk every day when they elect not
to isolate energy sources before placing themselves in harms way.

INCIDENT INVESTIGATION:
|
|
 |
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a
worker is injured on the job every 5 seconds. Workplace injuries
and illnesses cost industry over $175 billion annually. The immediate
cause of incidents is usually obvious. But unless the true root
cause(s) are identified and corrected, the probability of a similar
type incident occurring is high. A properly conducted Incident
Investigation is one of the most effective tools and an essential
component of all successful incident prevention programs.
