February Monthly Safety Initiative Centers on Mixer Truck Rollovers
NRMCA's Monthly Safety Initiative for Febuary is Mixer Truck Rollover. A rollover is one of the most serious types of truck accidents, resulting in many cases in serious injury and/or death to drivers or the general public at large. When rollovers occur, it puts the driver into a position that no amount of training or anticipation can assure the prevention of very serious consequences. All rollovers can be prevented: they occur due to a particular set of circumstances. If these circumstances are corrected or prevented, then any rollover can be eliminated. Rollovers create unnecessary human suffering, substantial costs and business disruption. It is everyone’s responsibility to do whatever he or she can to prevent the occurrences of rollovers.
The initiatives are meant to be shared, used as training tools, printed, posted and/or distributed; each of which is encouraged. The February Safety Initiative can be viewed here. For more information, contact Kevin Walgenbach at kwalgenbach@nrmca.org or Gary Mullings at gmullings@nrmca.org.
