Why? “Half of the workers who died were either not wearing a safety belt or were ejected from the vehicle and presumably, not belted.” “Compared to workers in all industries, oil and gas workers experience six times the rate of work-related motor vehicle-related death” Quotes from NIOSH – link at end of presentation

Looks like we have improved since 2008? Yes, but… From the event narratives for the 7 fatalities in 2015, we know some individuals were not wearing their seatbelt, but it is likely none were.

IOGP Life-Saving Rule “Wear your seat belt” Drivers and passengers Always use a 3-point seat belt* Check that your seat belt works properly Keep your seat belt properly fastened while in a moving vehicle Check that everyone in the vehicle is wearing a seat belt properly before starting to drive Intervene when your fellow passengers are not wearing seat belts properly Slide: Wear your seat belt A seat belt protects you from injury in the event of an incident while driving and keeps you safe.   Includes, for example, safety belts in (rental) cars, taxis, (mini) buses, trucks, cranes, or forklift trucks, and involves persons in moving vehicles when engaged on company business. Exceptions include vehicles where only lap seat belts are available or in public transport where seat belts are not available. You (Drivers and Passengers) should: Always use a 3-point seat belt (please note exceptions above) Check that your seat belt works properly Keep your seat belt properly fastened while in a moving vehicle Check that everyone in the vehicle is wearing a seat belt properly before starting to drive Intervene when your fellow passengers are not wearing seat belts properly * Exceptions include vehicle where only lap seat belts are available or in public transport where seat belts are not available

Yes, but I drive a truck not a car. US data shows that using seat belts cuts the risk of death by 45% for people riding in cars and by as much as 60% for those traveling in trucks or SUVs. In Australia 40 unbelted heavy vehicle drivers lose their life every year. In the UK the operator was not wearing a seatbelt for all five fatal accidents when a front end loader overturned. If truck drivers wore a seat belt as much as car drivers, truck driver fatalities would half Yes, but I drive a truck not a car. Go to Insert/Header & Footer to adjust

Any time you are in a moving vehicle Every time! In a car, bus, truck, crane, forklift, utility… Wear your seatbelt.

The forces involved in a crash are massive The forces involved in a crash are massive. Only a seat belt is strong enough to hold you in your seat. “I don’t need a seat belt, I can hold on to the steering wheel in a crash” Myth busting inspired by VicRoads campaign, see references at end of presentation

“I don’t wear a seat belt because the truck might catch fire You can’t get out if you’re unconscious. Being severely injured can also make getting out difficult. By wearing a seat belt, you reduce the likelihood of being injured by 80% in case of a fire. Seat belts improve your chances of getting out. “I don’t wear a seat belt because the truck might catch fire and I’ll be trapped.” Myth busting inspired by VicRoads campaign, see references at end of presentation

Truck drivers have a better chance of surviving a potentially fatal crash if they are wearing a seat belt. “It's safer to jump free of a crash than be restricted by wearing a seat belt.” Myth busting inspired by VicRoads campaign, see references at end of presentation

“If I wear a seat belt and the load shifts, I'll be crushed.” Seat belts improve your chances of surviving a crushed cabin. Most cabs are crushed by hitting an object not by the load shifting. “If I wear a seat belt and the load shifts, I'll be crushed.” Myth busting inspired by VicRoads campaign, see references at end of presentation
