Self-Propelled Units in the Plant

In industries such as ours, mobile self-propelled units such as automobiles, forklifts, tanker trucks, trucks, etc., represent risks if they are not operated responsibly.

A moment of negligence can cause serious emergencies for workers, facilities, and the environment, such as:

  • Impact with pipes or containers, causing leaks or fires.
  • Interaction between vehicles and personnel (collisions or run-overs) in confined areas or roadways.
  • Accidents related to the lack of inspection of brakes, lights, alarms, etc.

For the above reasons, it is important that everyone working in the plant take preventive actions, such as:

  • Respect the maximum speed limit of 20 km/h for automobiles entering the plant.
  • Turn on hazard lights when entering or leaving the facilities to alert pedestrians and other vehicles.
  • If we operate any vehicle, perform the daily inspection before using it.
  • Maintain a safe distance from forklifts and trucks, remembering that their visibility is limited.
  • Drive only on designated routes and never enter pedestrian areas.

Safety related to the use of self-propelled vehicles does not depend solely on the operator; it depends on everyone.
