When is it safe to get on or off the man trip?

Getting on or off the man trip is only safe when the vehicle is completely stopped. This protocol is crucial for ensuring the safety of all personnel involved in the operation. When the man trip is in motion, there is a significant risk of injury due to sudden movements or the inability to maintain balance. Even slowing down does not eliminate this risk, as the vehicle may not be stable, and individuals could still be at risk of falling or being caught in machinery. Waiting until the vehicle has completely stopped minimizes the chance of accidents and allows for a safer transition. Thus, adhering to this practice protects workers and maintains a secure work environment.
