Trailer Coupling & Uncoupling – Toolbox Talk
Coupling and uncoupling a trailer is a daily task—but when rushed, it becomes one of the most dangerous. This Trailer Coupling & Uncoupling Toolbox Talk walks drivers and fleet crews through the most common failures: missed visual checks, skipped chocking, and tug test oversights. It reinforces correct technique, PPE use, and hazard awareness for one of the highest-risk moments in commercial transport.
 
Built for drivers, yard workers, site managers, and maintenance leads in trucking, construction, oil & gas, or logistics.
