Safety Sense: A Two-Minute Inspection That Can Save a Life
I was talking with a surveyor recently just outside
his office. As we were wrapping up our conversation, one of his crew vehicles
pulled into the parking lot. Two workers got out of the van, and one opened the
passenger-side door to retrieve some equipment. What I observed about that
vehicle in just a couple of minutes could have generated both OSHA and law
enforcement citations, not to mention possible worker injuries or fatalities.
