Driver Courtesy When Driving in the Rain

Driver courtesy in the rain goes beyond basic legal requirements—it is about respecting other road users, reducing hidden hazards like road spray, and preventing accidents on slick pavement.

Essential Rules of Rain Courtesy
• Turn on your headlights: In places like California, turning on your headlights whenever your windshield wipers are active is a legal requirement, not just a courtesy. It ensures drivers behind you can see your taillights through dense spray.
• Watch your splash around pedestrians: Slow down when approaching bus stops, crosswalks, or pedestrians walking on sidewalks. Blasting through a roadside puddle at normal speed splashes dirty water onto people waiting or walking nearby.
• Avoid tailgating large trucks and buses: Commercial trucks throw up massive sheets of water from their large tires, which completely blinds the driver behind them. Back off to a much larger following distance (at least 6 to 7 seconds) or carefully pass when it is safe.
• Match your lane and speed to the flow: Drive in the middle lanes, when possible as water tends to pool and collect in the outer lanes due to road crowning. If you need to drive significantly slower than the speed limit, keep to the right lane so faster traffic can pass safely without frustration.
• Signal and brake early: Wet pavement drastically increases stopping distances. Easing off the gas pedal early and tapping your brakes gently alerts the driver behind you well in advance, preventing rear-end collisions caused by surprise braking.
• Turn off high beams: High-beam headlights reflect off falling raindrops and wet asphalt, creating a blinding glare that hurts the vision of oncoming drivers. Stick to low beams.

Manage Spray Around Large Vehicles
• Give trucks and buses space: Do not follow large trucks or buses too closely. Their massive tires kick up heavy road spray that blinds your windshield and reduces visibility.
• Pass with care: If you must pass a semi-truck or bus on the highway, do it quickly and safely without lingering in their blind spots or spray zone.

DRIVING IN WET CONDITONS

With the upcoming rainstorm due to hit the area this week, here are some tips to help us get through the rain. Replace windshield wiper inserts that leave streaks or don’t clear the glass in a single swipe. Make sure all headlights, taillights, brake lights and turn signals are properly functioning so other drivers will see you during downpours. Turn on your headlights whenever you drive. Proper tire tread depth and inflation are imperative to maintaining good traction on wet roadways. Check tread depth with a quarter inserted upside down into the tire groove. If you can see above Washington’s head, start shopping for new tires. Check each tire’s pressure, including the spare, at least once a month… and be sure to check the pressure when the tires are cold.

Avoid Cruise Control

This feature works great in dry conditions, but when used in wet conditions, the chance of losing control of the vehicle can increase. To prevent loss of traction, the driver may need to reduce the car’s speed by lifting off the accelerator, which cannot be accomplished when cruise control is engaged. When driving in wet-weather conditions, it is important to concentrate fully on every aspect of driving. Avoiding cruise control will allow the driver more options to choose from when responding to a potential loss-of-traction situation, thus maximizing your safety.

Slow Down and Leave Room

Slowing down during wet weather driving can be critical to reducing a car’s chance of hydroplaning, when the tires rise up on a film of water. To reduce chances of hydroplaning, drivers should slow down, avoid hard braking or turning sharply and drive in the tracks of the vehicle ahead of you. Also, it’s important for motorists to allow ample stopping distance between cars by increasing the following distance of the vehicle in front of them and beginning to slow down to stop for intersections, turns and other traffic early.

Responding to a Skid

1. Continue to look and steer in the direction in which the driver wants the car to go.
2. Avoid slamming on the brakes as this will further upset the vehicle’s balance and make it harder to control.
If you feel the car begin to skid, continue to look, and steer in the direction you want the car to go. Don’t panic and avoid slamming on the brakes to maintain control.

Overall, you want to be extra cautious in wet weather. Slow down, avoid hard braking or turning sharply and allow ample stopping distance between you and the cars in front of you. Also, do these things one-at-a-time. Brake, then turn, then accelerate.

Plan on Going Home Tonight

A Three-Step Plan
We just can’t leave our safety to chance anymore. The safe actions you perform today will take you home tonight. Now it’s time to make your three-step going-home plan.

Step 1: Complete this statement as you enter the doors of your workplace and begin your workday: I plan on going home tonight and this is why: Today, I am going to ______________.
You can fill in the blank with statements such as:
• Conduct a walkaround of my vehicle before I move it each time.
• Wear my issued AR gear each and every day.
• Follow all the steps for de-energizing a line.

Step 2: Share your plan with your peers by selecting one of the two methods below:
• At the start of each day, during your job briefing, have each crew member state what their going-home plan is for the day. Then work to hold each other accountable.
• Ask one person each day to share their going-home plan during the job briefing, and then all crews commit to doing that action for the entire day.

Step 3: At the end of the day, check in with yourself and think back on how you did. Evaluate if it was difficult to perform the specific action for the entire day. If so, it might be a clue that you have drifted from a safe work practice. This awareness can remind you of what you need to work on and bring forth a renewed commitment to your personal safety.

Conclusion

If we can implement our going-home plan, then we can slowly change our work practices into safer work practices. We may not be following all of the rules all of the time. By implementing a going-home plan, you can begin to acknowledge if some form of complacency is present and change that before an accident happens.

Having a going-home plan resets your safety actions because now you are making plans to go home tonight. You aren’t leaving it to chance anymore. Instead, you are thoughtful about your going-home plan each and every day. So, when someone asks you if you plan on going home tonight, you can reply, “Absolutely! And here is what I’m going to do to ensure that happens …”

Making The Best OF A Bad Situation

Let face it some jobs present us with less than favorable conditions. When dealing with difficult, unexpected, or subpar conditions ("making the best of a bad situation"), focus on maintaining safe work habits when equipment fails, weather turns severe, or shortcuts tempt the crew. Emphasize problem-solving over rushing, clear communication, and utilizing proper safety gear.

Key Talking Points to Cover During Your Tailboard Meeting

1. Acknowledge the Pressure: Admit when conditions are bad (e.g., bad weather, broken tools, tight deadlines) so the team feels heard.
2. Stop vs. Proceed: Reinforce that the team always has the right to pause work if a bad situation crosses the line into an unsafe hazard.
3. Inspect Alternatives: If primary tools or paths fail, inspect backup gear or alternative routes thoroughly before using them.
4. Communicate Changes: Ensure everyone knows the revised plan; confusion during a sub-optimal workflow leads to costly mistakes.
5. Focus on Control: Do not let frustration or fatigue drive careless behavior; slow down rather than forcing a risky fix.

When faced with a bad situation, a high-risk environment, or an unexpected setback on the job, stop and re-tailboard this helps crews pivot, re-group, and use practical problem-solving to stay safe and productive.

Assessing and Adapting to Difficult Conditions

1. Pause and evaluate: Stop work immediately when conditions turn bad, and give the crew a chance to look at what changed.
2. Identify new hazards: Look for fresh risks introduced by bad weather, broken equipment, or tight deadlines.
3. Control the controllables: Focus on the safety rules and personal protective gear you can still use right now.

Turning Setbacks into Positive Habits

1. Communicate openly: Let every worker share what worries them without fear of getting in trouble.
2. Learn from near-misses: Treat a close call as free information on what needs fixing before a real accident happens.
3. Document and adjust: Write down what went wrong and update your daily plan so the next shift avoids the same trap.

Fatigue on the Roadways

We have all been there - our eyes get heavy, we begin to close them, and then our head suddenly jerks up after hitting the rumble strips on the side of the road. When this occurs, it will wake an individual up, but only for a short period. This is an unsafe act that is quite common on our roadways. While general fatigue is a major cause of fatigued driving, there are also several other causes.

Fatigued driving can be caused by any number of factors. The most common cause of fatigued driving is lack of sleep. It can also be caused or made worse by untreated sleep disorders, medications, drinking alcohol, long hours, physically and mentally stressful jobs, or shift work. Working long hours in summer heat can also be a big contributor.

How to Avoid Being Fatigued While Driving

• Get plenty of rest. It is recommended to get a minimum of seven hours of sleep a night.
• If your work schedule is too demanding or the heat and/or hours you are working are making you feel fatigued every single day, talk with a supervisor. Sometimes schedules can be altered to improve productivity and safety.
• It is important to understand the side effects of the medication before using it at work or while driving.
• Take care of your health. Addressing other health issues can greatly improve how you feel both at home and at work.
• Eat a better diet. Food to humans is as gasoline is to a car – if you put dirty gas in your car, it will not run well. Same goes with your body!
• Pull over somewhere safe and take a short nap, or call for assistance, if you find yourself tired behind the wheel.

Summary

Driving is one of the more hazardous tasks we complete often. When you pair it with unsafe acts such as driving while fatigued, you not only put yourself at risk, but you also put everyone around you at risk. Be proactive in preventing fatigue and drowsiness. When it is affecting you while driving, pull over and get rest, call your FM or Safety, before continuing.

With kids back in school, how can schools help protect you from viruses

With school back in full swing, now is the time of the year when our little ones begin to bring home viruses. Schools can expect that children and staff will get sick during the school year. When children or staff do get sick, schools can implement strategies to help slow the spread of infectious diseases, including:

1. Having staff or students staying home when sick.
2. Knowing when it’s okay for staff or students to return to school.
3. Using personal protective equipment for staff caring for sick children.

Staying home when sick

If a child's needs while sick disrupt school staff's ability to teach and care for other students, the child should remain at home.
The following symptoms could affect a student's ability to participate in school and may indicate a risk of spreading infection to other students and staff:
1. Fever, including a fever with a new rash
2. Vomiting more than twice in the preceding 24 hours
3. Respiratory virus symptoms that are worsening or not improving and not better explained by another cause such as seasonal allergies

For the general symptoms described in the "Stay at home when sick" section of this guidance, policies can allow a child to return to the school setting when:

1. The child has not had a fever (and is not using fever-reducing medicine) for at least 24 hours.
2. Fever with a new rash has been evaluated by a healthcare provider and fever has resolved.
3. Uncovered skin sores are crusting, and the child is under treatment from a provider.
4. Vomiting has resolved overnight, and the child can hold down food/liquids in the morning.
5. Respiratory virus symptoms are getting better overall for at least 24 hours. Students and staff returning after a respiratory illness can consider additional actions to reduce spread.

School health staff, such as school nurses or school-based health center personnel, should follow guidance intended for healthcare settings, such as CDC's Core Infection Prevention and Control Practices for Safe Healthcare Delivery in All Settings.
