August, September, October 2018 Quarterly Newsletter

Focus on driving

Keep 100% of your attention on driving at all times – no multi-tasking.

Don’t use your phone or any other electronic device while driving.

Slow down. Speeding gives you less time to react and increases

the severity of an accident.

Drive “defensively”

Be aware of what other drivers around you are doing, and expect the unexpected.

Assume other motorists will do something crazy, and always be prepared to avoid it.

Keep a 2-second cushion between you and the car in front of you.

Make that 4 seconds if the weather is bad.

Make a safe driving plan

Build time into your trip schedule to stop for food, rest breaks, phone calls or other

business.

Adjust your seat, mirrors and climate controls before putting the car in gear.

Pull over to eat or drink. It takes only a few minutes.

Practice safety

Secure cargo that may move around while the vehicle is in motion.

Don’t attempt to retrieve items that fall to the floor.

Have items needed within easy reach – such as toll fees, toll cards and garage

passes.

Always wear your seat belt and drive sober and drug-free.

Reminders:

training. Training provided by Frank Villalobos.

There is a misconception of the incentives and the Christmas Party,

the incentives have nothing to do with the Christmas party. The

reason we are not certain that we will be able to do incentives this

year is because of cash flow issues. Loosing the AMR contract has

limit us to having large amounts of cash flow at hand. The incen-

tives come out of our other budget, which has nothing to do with the

Christmas Party.

We have a different fund strictly for the Christmas Party celebration,

those funds come out of the fundraising activities we have through-

out the year, for example; the ticket sales, raffles, flea market, plate

sales, etc. Encourage your co-workers to attend the Christmas Party,

this is the once a year event that we are able to enjoy ourselves with

our co-workers!!!

The Safety Committee, met on September 6, 2018. The following

Issues were discussed;

→ Wheelchair securement Is still a problem. If you need a refresher

course, get with Frank Villalobos, Trainer.

→ Do not use the cell phone while driving. Use the mic. Instead.

→ ID badges need to be worn at all times

→ Uniforms need to be worn. Image and looking professional is part of

your job.

→ Remind clients that they can only take up to 6 bags of groceries.

→ Incentive Reports are not being turned in for those clients that are using

abusive and foul language. You need to report it immediately.

→ Park buses in their designated spots. For no reason should we have

vehicles parked under the canopy.
