Key Hazards
- Blind spots around large vehicles
- Pedestrians entering unseen areas
- Limited visibility during poor conditions
2–3 Minute Talk Script
Vehicle visibility and blind spot safety is important because large work vehicles have significant areas the driver cannot see.
Mirrors and cameras help but do not eliminate blind spots.
Drivers must adjust mirrors properly and use spotters when visibility is limited.
Pedestrians should never assume a driver can see them.
Safety Reminders
- Adjust mirrors before driving.
- Use spotters when needed.
- Remain aware of blind spots.
- Slow down in low-visibility conditions.
Ask the Crew
- Where are the vehicle’s blind spots?
- When should spotters be used?
