Something that’s done this often can become a routine, and many times drivers aren’t even thinking about how to get into and out of their cabs safely. However, this very activity can cause significant injuries to drivers and because they do it so often, the risk is high. Slips and falls while entering or exiting a cab can cause serious back injuries or concussions. By wearing appropriate footwear and ensuring three points of contact are maintained as much as possible while getting into or out of the cab, drivers can protect themselves from injuries while doing this simple daily task. Watch our short video below for clear examples and additional helpful tips for entering and exiting trucking equipment.   **Topics:** [Workers' Compensation](https://www.thesilverlining.com/businessblog/blog/topic/workers39-compensation) If you’re a content writer and would like to contribute to our blog, click [here](https://www.thesilverlining.com/content-contributor-agreement) to read our guidelines. ![Kayla Eggert, AINS, ARM](https://www.thesilverlining.com/hubfs/images/Kayla-Eggert-blog-author.jpg) #### Kayla Eggert, AINS, ARM Kayla Eggert began her insurance career at West Bend in 2014 as an underwriting tech, but quickly moved into the Loss Control department as a loss control assistant.
