ABSTRACT
Safety meetings for motor carrier drivers are designed to help reduce the number of incidents that occur in the workplace, although it may appear that safety meetings do not seem to be very effective.1 The reason for this is many employees have negative feelings about safety meetings and do not attend. The goal of a safety manager in the motor carrier industry is to help all operators do a better job.2 This includes the following:
• Stimulate and maintain interest in accident prevention. • Develop attitudes sympathetic to the motor carrier safety program. • Educate and train drivers and supervisory personnel in every factor that
enters into safe commercial vehicle operation.
