  • Never Fool With an Air Tool

    Whether using grinders, cutters, drills, chipping hammers, ratchets, or impact wrenches, safe handling is essential to prevent injuries. While these powerful air tools help make for quick and easy repair work, most operate between 70 and 100 pounds per square inch (psi). Some even reach 2,000 foot-pounds of torque. A broken or loose attachment ejected at those ratings hits you, hard! Day-to-day, vibration, repetitive motion, and awkward positions can also hurt – even tripping over a hose.

  • Three-Pointers Get Wins

    The basketball court isn't the only place where three-pointers help you win big! Using three points of contact when entering or exiting step van delivery trucks is always a winning play to help prevent falls.

    The last thing a truck driver needs is to doze off while at the wheel. Drowsy driving creates a dangerous collision course with injury and death.
