## RECENT TRUCK ACCIDENTS AND TRUCKING HAZARD AVOIDANCE

**Notes:**
Contractors need to monitor the environment in which they work, the equipment they use, and the actions of their employees to ensure the safety and health of every person on the job.  In particular, trucking contractors are faced with numerous safety and health challenges through out the day.
Each person on the job must constantly strive for safe working conditions.  Failure to do so can have disastrous results.

For example, one year ago (June 10, 2004), there was a fatal trucking accident in the Logan area.  During the fatal accident investigation, it was learned, the truck’s seat belt and brakes were defective.  In order to prevent accidents such as this, proper preoperational examinations must be conducted.  Preoperational examinations are not meant to substitute for a comprehensive preventive maintenance program.  An effective maintenance program, one that measures brake drum diameters, and checks the thickness and condition of brake shoes, cannot be replaced by preoperational examinations. 

**Notes:**
Take a look at the number of trucking fatalites for the previous five years a total of 40!

**Notes:**
Here is a fatal accident which occurred at Catenary Coal.  The driver set the hand jamb, exited the truck, and unhooked the service side glad hand which was leaking air.  The truck then rolled and ran over him. The truck stopped after it collided with another truck which was parked in front of it.

This accident illustrates not only the need to ensure that miners are trained in safe work procedures, but the results of decisions, which are made in an instant, by truck operators.

**Notes:**
Working conditions often dictate the level of safety at the jobsite.  In this example, a slick roadway resulted in an accident.  Thankfully the driver was not substantially injured, but there was a needless risk taken which resulted in an increased potential for injury and property damage.

**Notes:**
Some hazards can be reduced or mitigated through effective physical barriers.  In this case, the operator of this truck, realizing that the truck had lost it’s brakes, utilized a run-off barrier which successfully stopped the truck without injury.  A scary ride, but no injuries.

## Slide 18

**Notes:**
In this accident the operator dumped his load while positioned on uneven ground.  The uneven ground caused the truck bed to turn over.  The operators decision to dump his load at this location resulted in the accident.

The judgment of a miner while on the job must not be impaired.  The use of drugs or alcohol, which can impair judgment, can have life threatening results.  

**Notes:**
In this accident, the operator of the truck fell asleep.  Impaired capacity, either mentally or physically, due to substance abuse, can have disastrous results.  Drug use is out there, we must maintain our vigilance to ensure safe workplaces.
