Safety Program

Step 1

The Towing Safety Program begins with a one (1) day Comprehensive Safety & Compliance Review of your entire company including the trucks, buildings, lots, office & shop areas as well as reviewing DOT record — keeping and regulatory compliance issues. The review focuses on;

• OSHA safety concerns; injury & fire hazards – bloodborne pathogens – etc.
• DOT compliance issues; driver files – log books – drug & alcohol testing – etc.
• EPA disposal issues; waste oil and fluid storage – filter & oil disposal – etc.

Step 2

The second step of this Towing Safety Program focuses on training the driver. Midwest Fleet Safety will prepare and present an on-site driver safety meeting at your facility. The meeting introduces and reviews an important safety topic from three (3) subject areas;

• Defensive Driving; safety following distance, backing skills, turns & merges, etc.
• Towing; safety chains, roadside safety, care & use of towing equipment, etc.
• Operator Skills; driver attitude, customer service, injurury prevention, etc.

During the third phase of the Towing Safety Program, your towing company will choose an employee to participate in a 2-day Safety Instructor Training Program.
