Cab Warning Lights
Jun 28 2010
Many garbage trucks have warning lights in the cab that alert the driver when the arms are raised This warning light helps prevents raised. drivers from pulling down power lines or crashing into overpasses.
Unfortunately, these warning lights are occasionally disabled by the driver or stop functioning, creating a potential safety hazard. Warning lights and other safety devices (e.g., back up alarms, machine guards) are there for a reason – to keep a driver or operator from getting hurt – or worse.
Pay attention to the warning light in the cab. If it is not working, tell your supervisor or maintenance so it can be fixed. Life is short, and disabling a safety device or ignoring safety training can make it even shorter.
