Backing and Blind Spots — Toolbox Talk

A 7-minute talk a crew leader can give at the truck before the first backing move of the day. Includes a walk-around demo and a sign-in.

You will be able to

  • Show the crew the blind area on the truck they will use today.
  • Agree on today's spotter and the hand signals.
  • Confirm where people on foot walk and where they never walk.
