 Before you put a vehicle back in service after repairs or maintenance, test the brakes. A fatality occurred shortly after
a haul truck was repaired for a reported brake problem. The worn brake
linings were replaced and the truck was placed back in service. The truck
was later involved in a fatal accident due primarily to brake failure. The
investigation found that the brake actuators were worn out. |
