Company: Job Site Location: Date: Start Time: Finish Time: Foreman/Supervisor: Topic: 360 DEGREE WALK AROUND - "CIRCLE OF SAFETY " MSHA / OSHA Mandated: Yes No A crew working for a utility company found this young child in the wheel well of their truck while conducting a "CIRCLE OF SAFETY ". of the company truck the crew members were driving before moving the vehicle. It is unthinkable what could have happened if the crew had gotten into the truck and drove off without doing a walk around inspection. This crew had also reported children climbing into the back of company vehicles. Be aware of children out of school on summer break and be sure to watch out for them! By taking less than 30 seconds to walk around your vehicle, looking for hidden and unseen hazards you could be protecting yourself, your company assets and possibly another person's life.

2 It is extremely important to keep the following SAFETY tips in mind while performing a 360 walk-around: Look low to the ground. Be on the lookout for low walls, fire hydrants, landscaping materials, rocks and other fixed objects low to the ground. This is especially important during the winter months when snow and ice can often cover and camouflage such objects. When you get to the back of the vehicle, look over all loaded material and equipment. Make sure everything is secure and will not fall and strike another vehicle while in motion. Also be sure to check the rear lights, making sure they are working properly and not cracked. Remember that the scenario can quickly change from the time you park, finalize your assignment and complete simple tasks, such as paperwork, making a phone call or adjusting your GPS.

3 Always make sure a 360 . walk-around is the last order of business before leaving an area. It's not just about going through the motions. Be sure to pay attention to details. The area behind your vehicle can change in less than 30 seconds. Even if you are driving your personal vehicle this is a good SAFETY habit to remember. It is also a good idea to look for other unusual and unsafe hazards as well like low tire pressure, loose or insecure items, damaged lights, etc. Page 1 of 2. WEEKLY TOOLBOX SAFETY TRAINING .
