This process was conducted by a truck referred to as a \u201cFat Truck\u201d<br \/>\ndue to its unique off-road configuration. The second stage was the process of transporting logs<br \/>\nfrom the \u201cdry land sort\u201d area to a mill by utilizing public highways and a truck equipped to<br \/>\nconform to Motor Vehicle Act Regulations.<br \/>\nWith an objective to minimize time handling raw logs the two stage process was reduced to one<br \/>\nstage by eliminating the \u201cdry land sort\u201d operation. This was accomplished by designing a new<br \/>\ntruck capable of operating off-road and on public highways. With the implementation of a newly<br \/>\ndesigned truck and exposing untrained drivers to new driving environments, former highway<br \/>\ndrivers were crashing in off-road areas and off-road drivers were crashing on public highways.<br \/>\nOBJECTIVE<br \/>\nEliminate the occurrence of vehicular rollovers during the harvesting and hauling of raw logs.<br \/>\nTARGET GROUP<br \/>\nPersonnel involved in the harvesting and hauling process including company drivers, loading<br \/>\noperators, contractors and supervisors.<br \/>\nACTIVITY<br \/>\nBased on the initial root cause analysis, it was determined the drivers had a low level of<br \/>\nunderstanding relating to the dynamics of the trucks they were driving and the loads they were<br \/>\nhauling. The best course of action was to educate drivers with an objective to heighten the<br \/>\ndriver\u2019s awareness in relation to how trucks and trailers rollover. A program was developed<br \/>\nbased on experience investigating motor vehicle crashes.<br \/>\nDELIVERABLES<br \/>\nA course was developed and came to be known as \u201cThe Anatomy of a Rollover.\u201d Focused<br \/>\ntraining was delivered over a 2 week period in 6 locations. The course information provided<br \/>\ndrivers with an understanding of how rollovers occur and how they may change their behaviour<br \/>\nto prevent a rollover.<br \/>\nIn the year preceding this training, the organization had been involved in 17 rollovers. The year<br \/>\nfollowing the delivery of this program, the organization only experienced 1 rollover which<br \/>\ninvolved a contractor who had not participated in the training. The organization estimated as a<br \/>\nresult of the training, the total hard cost savings to be approximately 3.6 million dollars when<br \/>\ncompared to the ten months prior to the delivery of this program.<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:15px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#ccc\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Terry Betts, Grant Aune<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":163,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"default","_kad_post_title":"default","_kad_post_layout":"default","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"default","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"default","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[128,347],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18785","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-2014-cmrsc-ccmsr-xxiv-vancouver","category-policy-and-practice"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carsp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18785","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carsp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carsp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carsp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/163"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carsp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18785"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/carsp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18785\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18829,"href":"https:\/\/carsp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18785\/revisions\/18829"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carsp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18785"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carsp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18785"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carsp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18785"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
