Mirror Check Station Risk Management Group
Mirror Check Station • Backing and sideswipes are two of the most frequent types of truck accidents. These accidents differ from others because the hazard was either behind or to the side, not in front! • This is one reason it is imperative to ensure that mirrors are properly adjusted.
Why set up a Mirror Check Station?? • To ensure drivers see what they need to see • To ensure mirrors complement each other • To ensure overlap • To reveal objects in the “No Zone”
Mirror Check Station Set-up • A mirror check station is a set of painted lines and boxes on the ground that serves as targets for mirror adjustments. • Paint a mirror check station on any flat ground surface at least 30 feet wide by 80 feet long. Lines A and B should be 6 inches wide. Target boxes C should be approximately 5 feet wide and 10 feet long, and may be solid, outlined, or cross hatched. Target D is 12 inches wide and 10 feet long. • Position the truck as close to Line A as possible. • Stop the truck with the driver’s side mirror over Line B. • Rotate each flat mirror horizontally. • Tilt each flat mirror vertically. • Rotate each convex mirror horizontally. • Tilt each convex mirror vertically. • Adjust the fender mounted convex mirror.
