Roll Offs and Safety Operations

(12 min.) A short program on safety can't possibly cover all the things you need to know about Roll Offs, but your experience, judgment, and professional attitude will help you become a better employee. Roll Offs have the potential of causing very serious injuries or property damage, if you don't handle them properly. You'll receive more training and be given an opportunity to work with the equipment until you''re proficient. Even after years of experience, you need to continue thinking about safety and how to improve your safety awareness and accident prevention. To those of you that are experienced Roll Off operators, this will be a review and a reminder for working and acting safely.

Topics included in this safety video are: pre-trip vehicle inspection, the cab of the truck, 3-point system, adjust your seat, mirrors, keep cab clean, clutches, drain moisture tanks, back up alarms, check the hydraulic systems and on roll offs, double check the hoisting cables, engage the PTO (power take off), rear doors, check for overhead wires or obstructions, container hook, tarp, center of gravity of the truck, and lower the rails.
