TRANSPORTING PAINT & EQUIPMENT

Whether transporting liquid painting supplies, tools, or equipment in a car, truck, or van, make sure they are secure. They should be in an upright position. All lids should be solidly shut and closed. Ladders should tied securely. Car trunks, van doors, truck tail gates must be permanently locked and secured.  Follow the  public transportation safety rules for transporting materials with a vehicle.   It is worth the cost to rent a trailer or suitable size vehicle to transport equipment. 

The test: if you are going up a hill or making a wide turn, making a sudden stop, and the material shifted in traffic---what would happen?

If equipment or paint comes from your vehicle in heavy traffic, liability is high.   The accidents, public and private property damage could be costly.  

If your involved in an accident or lose equipment and material, call 911.  

Be Safe!   Think and anticipate problems.  Take measures to solve them before.  As the cliche' goes, "A ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."
