Challenge 3 – Show & Tell!

 Goal: Share the safe practices you follow when using Powered Industrial Trucks and like equipment.

Directions: Keep your camera handy! When Challenge 3 “Show & Tell” pops up on social media, post a picture of your powered insutrial truck (forklift), skid steer, front loader, or like equipment and a safety practice you use when operating it with # Standup4GrainSafety. Get people to “Like” and “Share” your posts! Winners are both individuals and companies. So yes, it is definitely okay to brag about your awesome workplace and employees!

FAQ:  Can I post a “bad practice” as a warning/lesson for others?  Yes. Clearly indicate it is a bad practice. Put a visible slash, no symbol, thumbs down, or other such mark on the picture that says it is a hazard or bad practice. Tell what is wrong and what happened or can happen.

FAQ:  What if I am uncertain whether it is a good or bad practice? “It takes a village” – or in this case a community of industry professionals! Ask for help! Post your picture and question. Include whether you are regulated by OSHA and if it is in federal or state plan location (name the state).  We suggest removing identifying information – we know you are working hard to make things safer!
