    Vehicle Operations Safety

    • Employees must actively prevent accidents, injuries, property damage, or fatalities during vehicle operations.
    • All vehicles must comply with Departmental, Municipal, State, and Federal laws, rules, and regulations.

    Apparatus/Vehicle Safety

    • Avoid backing apparatus whenever possible; if necessary, assign one or two spotters for guidance.
    • Use standard hand signals for communication during backing.
    • Discourage backing apparatus into drive-through stations and utilize rear-facing cameras when available.
    • Perform a 360° walk-around to identify hazards before reversing if no spotter is present.
    • Secure unattended vehicles by removing keys, locking doors, setting parking brakes, properly shifting transmissions, turning wheels into curbs, and using wheel chocks on heavy-duty vehicles.

    Seat Belt and Safety Regulations
