Hello all,
Curious what some of you who have a few employees do to make sure your guys/gals all treat the equipment the same way? What we've been running into frequently is guys get in the truck, don't check the oil or tire pressure. Guys shut off the chipper, forget to disengage the clutch. Guys head off to a job, forget to grab bar oil and fuel...and so on. I'm thinking about making some type of magent chart that goes on each peice of equipment, with steps #1 through whatever, to dummy proof our operations...or a checklist for each vehicle, something like that. Decent ground guys and sawyers are getting tougher to come by, so it's hard to ***** and moan at them for not checking the oil in the truck before each day...but we need to standardize our procedures somehow.
Thanks
