Show Notes
Jim Thompson describes an accident involving two railroad maintenance trucks that crashed
head-on due to limited visibility and the vehicles being unable to stop on wet
rails, highlighting the dangers of not wearing seatbelts even in new vehicles
with functioning safety equipment. The author recounts their experience
investigating the incident, where none of the occupants were using their
seatbelts, despite their availability and working condition. The narrative
emphasizes the importance of understanding and consistently using personal
protective equipment (PPE) for one's own safety and the safety of colleagues.
The author stresses the need to be trained on the proper use of safety gear and
to make its use a regular habit.
