While fleet safety focuses on over-the-road vehicle and driver safety, there are many other types of vehicles that your employees may use on a daily basis. These vehicles have a separate set of safety requirements and may include:
  • ATVs
  • Backhoes
  • Combines
  • Cotton pickers
  • Cranes
  • Forklifts
  • Golf carts
  • RoGator® sprayers
  • Skid loaders
  • TerraGator® sprayers
  • Tractors

With proper safety training and procedures in place, you may be able to prevent accidents from happening in the first place.

  • Hazard identification (obstacles, ditches or holes)
  • Proper load handling procedures for tractors, forklifts and skid loaders
  • Unique driving characteristics of mobile equipment
