Finish first with sober drivers

Article Abstract:

Several trucking companies have already adopted drug and alcohol programs to minimize costs arising from Driving Under the Influence (DUI) cases and in response to the growing sentiment against drunk driving and drug use. Under the Omnibus Transportation and Employee Testing Act of 1991, companies are obliged to test commercially licensed drivers for drug use prior to hiring, during employment, after accidents or in suspicious circumstances. Some companies also include employee-assistance programs for those with drug or alcohol problems to avoid tedious dismissal procedures for otherwise competent drivers.

Know your PCBs: rule violations can cost you

Article Abstract:

Record-keeping and disposal rules covering polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) depend on the quantity and concentration of the compounds present in a facility. Generally, PCB disposal is required by law when equipment containing them are not anymore in use. These are either usually drained, treated with solvents, incinerated or disposed of as municipal solid waste. There are exceptions, however, when PCB concentrations exceed 500 ppm. Record-keeping is required for facilities with at least one PCB transformer, 15 capacitors, or 45 kilograms of PCB onsite.

Learn the ABCs of antilock brakes

Article Abstract:

Traffic safety experts say that many drivers are unaware of the proper use of antilock braking systems (ABS). ABS is activated by continuously pressing on the brake pedal to increase steering ability and directional stability during emergency braking in wet and mixed-material surfaces. However, most drivers have learned to pump the brakes to avoid skidding as required by conventional braking systems. A study showed that 39% of drivers pumped ABS brakes while 59% believe that ABS shortens stopping in normal driving conditions.
