SAFE DRIVING PRACTICES

The safety of our workers is our highest priority. How you drive reflects not only on you but also on our organization. Make a positive impact by following these safe driving practices:

• Use your seatbelt at all times.

• Stay alert and well-rested. Avoid medications that cause drowsiness, and never drive while impaired by alcohol or drugs.

• Give driving your full attention. Avoid distractions such as eating, talking, or using a cell phone.

• Drive according to conditions. Follow posted speed limits or slower if necessary for weather, traffic, or job site conditions.

• Continuously scan the roadway or job site. Be alert for situations requiring quick action.

• Keep your composure in traffic. Remain calm and focused.

• Drive defensively. Make yourself visible by using headlights in low light and always anticipate the actions of other drivers.

• Be patient and courteous. Respect other drivers and coworkers.

• Follow only one spotter or signaler. Ensure clear communication to avoid confusion.

• Do not take other drivers’ actions personally. Maintain focus on safety, not frustration.

• Avoid complacency. Stay alert even on familiar routes or tasks.

• Expect the unexpected. Be prepared for sudden changes in conditions or hazards.

• Ensure your vehicle or equipment is safe. Perform pre-trip inspections and address any defects.

• Ensure your load is secure. Always confirm that cargo or materials are properly loaded and balanced before driving.
