Proper Posture
It may not look like a big deal, but how you make the connections matters. Awkward reaching holds and motions with added force can cause injuries to your muscles, tendons, and joints. Good posture, careful movements, and strong full-fisted holds on brake lines and electrical connectors will go a long way to prevent injuries.
Pro Tip
Make sure grab handles, catwalk, and steps are securely mounted, clean, and serviceable.
Use 3 points of contact facing the vehicle, holding firmly onto grab handles, gaining a stable, balanced footing, and climbing all steps. Wear sturdy, slip-resistant footwear with good traction.
