• Assess haul-road conditions including loose material, potholes, ruts, dust, standing water, ice, snow, grades, curves, berms, and edge conditions; adjust speed and report hazards.
• Use controlled speed, safe following distance, and smooth braking/steering appropriate to load, grade, traction, visibility, and road conditions.
• Approach loading and dumping areas cautiously; follow spotter and loading-equipment instructions, confirm the area is clear, and remain alert to unstable ground, overhead hazards, and other mobile equipment.
• Apply fatigue-management practices on extended shifts, maintain situational awareness, and communicate when conditions or fitness for duty may affect safe operation.
