Backing Equipment & Blind Spot Awareness – Toolbox Talk
Backing equipment is one of the most common causes of struck-by incidents—and also one of the most overlooked. This Toolbox Talk on Backing & Blind Spot Awareness helps crews rethink routine vehicle movements as high-risk activities.
 
Built for construction, utilities, transport yards, and material handling operations, this talk shows your team how to use spotters, alarms, and clear communication to stop preventable injuries.
