Why this matters

Dump trucks have large blind spots, and tipping on soft or sloping ground can roll the truck.

What to cover

  1. Keep clear of reversing and tipping trucks.
  2. Use spotters for reversing.
  3. Stay on the marked haul route and under the speed limit.
  4. Don't tip on soft or uneven ground or near overhead lines.
  5. Lower the body before you drive away.
  6. Wear a seat belt.

Ask the crew

  • Where are the blind spots?
  • Where's the tipping point on this site?
  • Who spots for reversing?

One thing to do today

Walk the haul route and fix any soft, narrow, or blind areas.
