Your Safety Is In Your Hands

Safety plays a role in supporting your family who depend upon you. Keeping safety on your mind can save you time, money, and injury. Just a temporary lapse in good judgement can cost your dearly in many ways. Imagine being unable to work because of a stupid and careless accident. Imagine damaging your rig with a moment of not planning ahead. Imagine loosing all that you have worked so hard for, because you can no longer work!

Your most important safety procedures are the ones which become a part of your subconscious behavior. These safety behaviors are learned by reinforcing them each day. We are going to break the safety rules into three groups. On-duty safety, Off-duty safety, and Maintenance safety. Let us start with On-duty safety:
