1. Get Out And Look (GOAL) Trihydro’s Vehicle Backing Safety Initiative

2. What is GOAL?
Get Out And Look (GOAL) is a simple reminder to the driver of a vehicle to check around the vehicle before moving
Too often the driver assumes nothing has changed in the area around the vehicle since they parked it
GOAL stickers, placed on the drivers side window, are a reminder to:
Look/check before they move the vehicle
Park using first move forward

3. Incidents
49% of the non-traffic, non-crash fatalities involving children under 15 from 2001–2005 were caused by vehicles backing up
Most of the incident investigations that are done on backing events contain the phrase “I didn’t see it”
There have been numerous cases where the driver moved into a tight area or one with numerous low to the ground obstacles, i.e., wells, pipes, bollards, equipment, mats, etc. and these obstacles were in the drivers blind spots
This is another tool to help reduce or eliminate backing Motor Vehicle Collisions at our job sites

4. What’s next Trihydro’s H&S Department have the stickers
Do we place stickers on rental vehicles? Yes the stickers easily pull off!
Discuss GOAL during your site orientation and at your tailgate meetings
