This video highlights the importance of emergency preparedness for truck drivers. A truck catches fire, but it’s another driver nearby, not the truck’s owner who steps in to put out the flames, demonstrating the critical role of being ready to act in emergencies. One of the main takeaways is that fire extinguishers must be kept accessible. They should never be locked, fastened or stored out of reach because in an emergency, drivers need to reach for them without delay. Another crucial lesson is the value of traveling in pairs or convoys. Truck drivers are safer when they avoid driving alone, traveling in groups of two or more means that if an emergency happens, help is immediately available. This practice can make a critical difference when minutes count. Emergency response and basic fire-fighting training are essential for all drivers. Knowing how to handle fires and other unexpected situations not only saves lives but also prevents significant damage. #riskassessment #methodassessment #safetyfirst #safetytraining #safetyatwork #safetyawareness #workplacesafety #safetyculture #processsafety #psm #hseprofessionals #ppe #osha #occupationalhealthandsafety #healthandsafety
