Slip and fall training for trucking is for over-the-road and local truck drivers and delivery drivers. It also suits anyone who climbs onto cabs, trailers, catwalks or loading docks. Fleet safety managers also use slip and fall training, because falls from stationary vehicles injure more truck drivers than any other cause.
The three points of contact rule means always keeping two hands and a foot, or two feet and a hand, on the truck. It applies whenever drivers climb in or out. Truck drivers should face the vehicle, use grab handles and steps rather than door frames or wheels, and never jump down.
Truck drivers should wear boots with slip-resistant soles, deep tread and good ankle support, and keep the soles clear of mud, oil and ice. Worn-out soles, loose sandals and smooth dress shoes greatly raise the risk of slipping on truck steps, catwalks and icy lots.
The biggest slip hazards around a truck are wet, icy or greasy steps and oily catwalks or deck plates. Uneven ground at truck stops and cluttered trailer floors add risk. Poor lighting at night hides these hazards. The 8-minute video on preventing slips and falls in trucking is available in English.
