Defensive Driving Techniques

What is defensive driving? It is a set of driving skills that allows you to defend yourself against possible collisions caused by bad drivers, drunk drivers, and poor weather. If you look ahead and keep your eyes moving, you will spot potential hazards more easily. Once you have identified a potential hazard and decided what to do, act immediately.

Defensive drivers are able to avoid dangers on the road by using their safe driving practices.

Tips for defensive driving:

  • Plan ahead for the unexpected.
  • Be able to control speed
  • Be Prepared to react to other drivers
  • Do not expect the other driver to do what you think he or she should do
  • Respect other users of the roadway.
  • Be aware of driving in special road and weather conditions
  • Be alert and avoid distratcions, e.g., cell phone use, eating.

Don't make assumptions about another drivers intentions. If you expect drivers in parked vehicles to remain parked at all times, always yield at intersections, or remain in one lane at all times, etc., you risk being caught off guard when drivers do not do what's expected.

Expect other drivers to make mistakes and be prepared to react. If a mistake is made, you will be ready to defend yourself.

Never assume that other drivers are sober, alert, and follow the rules of the road at all times.

Safety is a team effort.

1. Ensure that every member of the crew knows the safety requirements before the job is started.
2. Safety is your responsibility.
3. Always communicate with co-workers during a job in order to maintain safety.
4. Don't create unnecessary hazards. Notify others of both new and old ones.
5. Never take shortcuts. Always follow correct procedures.
6. Wear metal mesh gloves to protect your hands when using sharp knives regularly.
7. Keep your work area clean and orderly.
8. If you make a mess, clean it up. Never let safety be someone else's job.
9. Keep access clear to emergency exits, equipment, and equipment shutoffs.
10. Prevent accidents by clearly identifying any hazards that cannot be removed.
