Elizabeth Howell. No problem. Each hand-hold and railing, floor covering and emergency exit handles. The seats must be safe for riders.
All seats must be securely fastened to the bus. Never drive with an open emergency exit door or window. The emergency exit sign on an emergency door must be clearly visible. If there is a red emergency door light, it must work. Turn it on at night or any other time you use your outside lights.
You may lock some emergency roof hatches in a partly open position for fresh air. Do not leave them open as a regular practice. Keep in mind the bus' higher clearance while driving with them open. Make sure your bus has the fire extinguisher and emergency reflectors required by law. The bus must also have spare electrical fuses unless equipped with circuit breakers.
Use your seat belt. The driver seat should have a seat belt. Always use it for safety. Do not allow riders to leave carry-on baggage in a doorway or aisle.
There should be nothing in the aisle that might trip up other riders. Secure baggage and freight in ways that avoid damage and allow the driver to move freely and easily, allow riders to exit by any window or door in an emergency, and protect riders from injury if carry-ons fall or shift.
Standee line - No rider may stand forward of the rear of the driver seat. Buses designed to allow standing must have a two-inch line on the floor, or some other means of showing riders where they cannot stand. This is called the standee line. All standing riders must stay behind it. At your destination - When arriving at the destination or intermediate stops, announce the location, the reason for stopping, and the next departure time.
Remind riders to take carry-ons with them if they get off the bus. If the aisle is on a lower level than the seats, remind riders of the step down. It is best to tell them before coming to a complete stop. Charter bus drivers should not allow riders on the bus until departure time. This will help prevent theft or vandalism of the bus.
Hazardous materials - watch for cargo or baggage containing hazardous materials. Most hazardous materials cannot be carried on a bus. The Federal Hazardous Materials table shows which materials are hazardous.
They pose a risk to health, safety, and property during transportation. Rules require shippers to mark containers of hazardous material with the material's name, identification number, and hazard label. There are nine different four-inch diamond-shaped hazard labels like the example shown in figure 4.
Watch for the diamond-shaped labels. Do not transport any hazardous material unless you're sure the rules allow it. Forbidden hazardous materials - Buses may carry small arms ammunition labeled ORM-D, emergency hospital supplies, and drugs.
You can carry small amounts of some other hazardous materials if the shipper cannot send them any other way. Buses must never carry Division 2. Riders sometimes board a bus with an unlabeled hazardous material. Do not allow riders to carry on common hazards such as car batteries or gasoline. When stopping to pick up students, the driver should park at least 10 feet away from the students. Because this forces the students to cross the street to walk to the bus.
Because this forces the students to walk to the bus so the driver has a better view of their movements. Because this forces the driver to watch the rear of the vehicle by looking out the side window.
Because this forces the students to walk to the bus and have a better view of their own movements. When going down a hill, you should downshift:. A flip of a switch in the bus automatically releases a chain wheel that starts rotating and continuously throws chain strands under the tires. Years ago, she said she often had to stop the bus and install chains on the tires by herself just to be able to finish a bus route. Despite changes in the way school systems operate, she believes students are not a whole lot different today.
On the first day of school, she lays out the rules and lets the students know what is expected of them. In our safety meetings, I can always call on Terri — or she will volunteer — to give real life experiences of things that have happened on her bus over the years that we all can use to be safer drivers.
I really enjoy my job — not only being with the kids, but I also enjoy the camaraderie with the other bus drivers. Carolyn R. Wilson is a freelance writer in Glade Spring, Virginia.
