PERSONAL PROTECTIVE GEAR EVERY DRIVER SHOULD HAVE
As a Driver you need to be prepared for many scenarios – not just during your regular duties, but also in case of emergency. Whether that is protecting your hands from the impact of daily duties, dealing with rain in mild temps or snow in subzero temps, it is important to have these 5 pieces of protective gear.
Insulated Winter Coat
Though you may have a lighter jacket you wear in the cab, it is important to have a jacket that can handle colder outdoor temperatures.
Gloves or Mittens
Protect your hands from impact, outdoor conditions, and cold/heat transfer with the proper gloves.
Rainwear
Moisture is the enemy of comfort and warmth – you need to stay dry to stay comfortable and roductive. Make sure you are protected with waterproof gear.
Protecting Your Ears, Face and Eyes
Protect your exposed ears and face from cold, wind and precipitation. Also protect your eyes with safety glasses when needed.
High-Visibility Safety Gear
Stay visible on dark roadways with a HiVis vest over your jacket – or opt for a HiVis jacket so you are always visible and protected from cold.
