21Foot Brake
Know the Hazards
WATCH YOUR HANDS AND FEET
Keep your feet inside the truck and on the pedals at all
times. This truck weighs about 3630kg (8000 pounds)
even without a load. You cannot stop or even slow
down that much weight with your foot or any part of
your body, no matter how slow the truck is moving.
A foot or hand caught between the truck and a wall,
post or any fixed object will be crushed or even cut off.
MAKE SURE YOUR BRAKES WORK
Test the brakes on your truck at the start of each shift.
Know the distance it takes to stop before you start
working.
If at any time the stopping distance is too long for you,
do not drive your truck. Notify your supervisor.
