Ontario Fleet Safety Council to hold seminar on wheel-offs

Ontario Fleet Safety Council to hold seminar on wheel-offs

The Central chapter of the Ontario Fleet Safety Council will hold a seminar Jan. 12 examining wheel-offs and how to prevent them.

Itโ€™s a timely topic, given the recent spat of wheel separations in Ontario. Scott Parker of the OPPโ€™s Highway Safety Division will be speaking about wheel separations, causation, incidents and prevention.

Dave MacDonald, CVSA instructor with Bridgestone Tire Solutions will also be on-hand to address changes and adoption of the National Safety Code in Ontario and how it affects various areas of the transportation industry. Heโ€™ll also share some myths about wheel separations.

The Fleet Safety Council is encouraging members to attend and to bring a guest. The organization is also inviting non-members to attend the free event, given the importance of the topic.

The doors open at 8:30 a.m. Jan. 12 at Grand Valley Golf Course in Cambridge, Ont., located at 1910 Roseville Road. For more information, contact Melanie Whittier at mwhittier@ihsa.ca.
