Cars, pickups, dump trucks, delivery vehicles, 18-wheelers as wells as fork trucks and heavy construction equipment all have something in common. OSHA investigated eight worker deaths in New England in 2012 due to backovers and three more involved working on or near vehicles. The count does not include several public sector workers not investigated by OSHA, scores more severely injured in this type of accident or at home injuries. All industries, facilities and employees are exposed to backover hazards whether you work in construction, manufacturing, retail, healthcare, and education and all employees must be trained in recognizing the hazards associated with motor vehicles and other equipment. The material is ready and we can start to spread the word about the “Mirror Check Day” on Tuesday, March 19, 2013 in an effort to raise awareness about preventing Backover type Injuries.
