Driving Safety
According to the National Safety Council, motor vehicle crashes are the No. 1 cause of occupational fatalities and the leading cause of death for ages 2-39 and ages 50-72. SWAG视频 takes driving safety seriously. If you are involved in a motor vehicle accident with a SWAG视频 vehicle or while on a business trip for SWAG视频, please contact Risk Management at your earliest convenience. (This includes if you have damage to your rental car while on a business trip.)
SWAG视频 Vehicle Policy
In order to drive a SWAG视频 van, car, or other such vehicle you must be cleared by the SWAG视频 Safety and Security Department and obtain the proper background checks and training. Please contact Safety and Security to learn more about the SWAG视频 Vehicle Policy.
Fork Truck Information
SWAG视频 operates fork trucks in a few different departments on campus. All fork truck operators must obtain a fork truck license through the EHS department, which contracts the training through a vendor. University employees who operate forklifts must be trained and certified every three years. This course covers maintenance, inspection and safe operation of powered industrial trucks. Since it is an operator safety course, a written test and a driving test must be successfully completed to receive an operator's license. Please contact EHS for more information.
SWAG视频 Golf Cart Policy
