🚨 Dramatic Truck Rescue in the US 🚨 This is the moment a truck driver was rescued from as her lorry dangled over the edge of The Clark Memorial Bridge in Louisville, Kentucky. A recent incident in Kentucky serves as a stark reminder of the importance of not only situational awareness and fatigue management but also rescue and emergency preparedness in any situation. Following a crash on the highway, the lorry was left hanging over the boundary of an overpass, prompting a swift response from emergency services. While fortunately, there were no serious injuries reported, the scene underscores the critical need for readiness in times of crisis. Did you know that fatigue is a leading cause of road accidents in the UK? According to statistics, tiredness contributes to around 20% of accidents on major roads. This highlights the importance of rest and proper fatigue management, especially for drivers who play a crucial role in rescue and emergencies. https://lnkd.in/eqN7cTwU #EmergencyPreparedness #RescueReadiness #SafetyAwareness #SituationalAwareness #StaySafe #roadsafety #fatiguemanagement #safety

Today marks the start of National Road Safety Week. It's an important date to remind us of the needless tragedies taking place on Australian roads. Every year more than 1200 people are killed on our roads and more than 44,000 seriously injured. That's tens of thousands of families whose lives are changed forever in a split second. The annual initiative, delivered by the Safer Australian Roads and Highways (SARAH) group aims to highlight the impact of road trauma and how to reduce it. At Shine, we deal with the after-effects of road trauma every day, advocating for justice for our clients and their families whose lives have often been significantly affected. Today we pause to remember the 1200 and implore everyone to take care on our roads. Together we can make driving safer and reduce the tragic toll, so let's Drive So Others Survive.

With the recent weather in North America, its easy to get stuck. If your helping someone please keep in mind, tow balls are made for towing, they are not recovery points. Straps slip off under tension destroying grills and radiators or worse, shear and become potentially lethal. I did not take this photo, it is a timely reminder. #earthcruiser #safety #overlanding #offroad

How confident are you that emergency vehicles could easily access fire hydrants and fire department connections on your property in case of emergency? If you’re anything less than 100% confident, give us a call! Fire lane markings and bollards are both fantastic ways we can help keep fire lanes clear. #firelane #firelanemarking #firesafety
