• Description:
  Sad, but true...Summer is wrapping up. When the snow starts in the passes, you don't want to be taking your first look at those chains that have been hanging under your trailer for the past six months. Drivers: Take time now to lay out and inspect each chain for wear and breaks. Double check by installing all your chains to make sure there isn't something you missed during the initial inspection. Restock enough extra bungies to keep chains tight. Hooks out! Employers: Make sure all your drivers are trained to properly install chains. Set aside time for drivers to inspect their chains. Make sure your inventory is stocked with plenty of good condition chains. [Description provided by NIOSH]
