Shorter drivers may require something to step on so they are square with the plug.

Watch your step! Flatbed truckers who tarp loads often have to work at heights. Furthermore, some loads, like the one in the picture, are dangerous walking surfaces. Carriers and shippers should have systems in place to help drivers and anyone else involved in tarping. Falling is generally the worst hazard involved and having drivers do this alone just off your property isn't right. There are ways to mitigate the risks. Fall protection - with a recovery plan - is common, and tarping machines are increasing in popularity, too. --- #safety #trucking #truckingsafety Image source: my own from my time as a flatbed trucker.

Safety Tip #15: Don’t Push Your Luck (or Your Lift Truck)! • Fork tips are for lifting, not prying. Don’t use them as a lever for heavy loads. • Pushing or pulling loads with forks or tilt cylinder is a recipe for disaster. • Resist the urge to overload! Never exceed the weight capacity of your lift truck or attachments. • Know your limits! Check the weight capacity before every lift and avoid tipping hazards. #Yale #LiftTruckSafety #TipoftheDay
