Commit to Safety

As a business owner, you maywant to put together a safety manual to give to employees when they are hired.The safety manual should highlight and explain specific dangers and hazards ofyour dealership and the type of work they will be performing. The manual shouldinclude equipment startup and lockdown procedures, operational safetyprocesses, equipment maintenance, activities to avoid, and proper attire foroperating the machinery in your shop.

Safety training should beupdated on a regular basis. Too often, dealers and retreaders provide safetytraining once – usually when a new person is hired – but fail to follow up toreinforce the importance of safety. Remember, unsafe practices impact yourinsurance costs.

To further emphasize yourcommitment to safety, you can also host safety awareness programs – either bybringing in speakers from equipment manufacturers or other sources, orpresenting awards for best safety suggestion or longest period without anaccident.
