Whether your workers are behind the wheel of a commercial dump truck or operating a heavy haul truck offsite, handling heavy equipment demands an emphasis on safety. Taking proper safety precautions while handling heavy equipment can help ensure that you get the job done efficiently, without any damage to your equipment or injury to your workers.

Family-owned and -operated, Rojac Trucking in Wailuku, HI, is a heavy haul trucking company that specializes in construction hauling and other related services. Whether they’re hauling gravel, sand, dirt, rock, or cinder, they emphasize three simple safety tips whenever they’re on the job:

Implement Proper Training

Anyone operating heavy equipment needs thorough training both in and out of the classroom. Make sure your company has specific metrics that track and certify compliance for all of your operators.

Make All Operating Manuals Available & Accessible

Rojac Trucking employees are frequently tasked with moving large containers, cranes, and other types of heavy machinery. That’s why they give all dump truck operators and maintenance staff the operating manuals they need to safely and efficiently get the job done. Have an open dialogue with your workers informing them where all the necessary operating manuals are located.

Keep Inspections In Mind

You can’t expect your dump trucks and dozers to continue to perform if you’re not taking care of them. Always keep up with needed maintenance, and shut down your equipment for repair when it needs it to stop preventable safety mishaps.

Compliance is key in the world of construction. If you need any construction materials or heavy equipment moved, contact the professionals at Rojac Trucking.
