With summer

approaching and an

increased number

of people receiving the

COVID-19 vaccine, many

people are curious whether

visiting the beach is a safe

idea. However, even for

completely vaccinated

individuals, nothing is actually

100% safe.

The good news is that

coronavirus is highly unlikely

to be spread through water.

What is risky, though, is

being around people who

don’t reside with you. This is

because the virus is primarily

transmitted through respiratory

droplets. You can easily pick

up droplets by touching an

infected surface and then

your face and being in near

proximity to a carrier who

propels droplets directly to

your eyes, nose, or mouth.

Before heading out to the

beach, review the rules

and regulations of the local

government, public health

department, and beach

in advance. The beach

managers might need

reservations or have a limited

daily capacity. Additionally,

shower and change at home

prior to the trip to arrive at the

beach “swim ready”.

Covid-19 Transmission:

Pool Water & Beaches

ensure that tourists have access to enough facilities, such as

chairs and other materials, and that all equipment is washed

on a daily basis. Bringing hand sanitizer and disinfectant spray

or wipes, on the other hand, will be beneficial for cleaning the

equipment on your own.

If you need to wash or dry off at the pool, attempt to keep a safe

physical distance from others or enter during less busy times.

Bring an additional mask in case the primary mask gets wet.

Whether you’re in or out of the water, distance yourself from

those who do not live with you. Avoid congested rooms and

badly ventilated interior spaces, as well.

When you must come into

contact with someone – such

as when using the bathroom

or snack stand – wear a mask,

bring hand sanitizer, and wash

your hands. The CDC also

urged beach management to

We frequent beaches — swim areas in lakes, oceans,

and other natural bodies of water — as well as pools,

water playgrounds, and hot tubs to swim, skate, and

chill in water. There is no proof that SARS-CoV-2, the virus

responsible for COVID-19, may be transmitted to humans

through water in these locations.

The virus is believed to transmit primarily

by respiratory droplets produced by an

infected individual as he or she coughs,

sneezes, or speaks. These droplets

can fall in nearby people’s mouths or

noses or may be inhaled into the lungs.

Additionally, the virus can spread from

an infected surface to the hands and

then to the nose, mouth, and likely eyes.

Infected individuals will transmit the

virus regardless of whether they exhibit

symptoms.

Fortunately, there are many steps you

may take to minimize the chance of

contracting or transmitting the virus when

visiting outdoor swimming places such as

beaches, lakes, water playgrounds, and

hot tubs.

Even if you and others (including

kids) don’t feel ill or exhibit any signs,

COVID-19 may be transmitted to your

families, colleagues, and community.

So it is necessary to continue taking the

following precautions to minimize your

chance of contracting and transmitting

COVID-19.

Before You Leave the House

• Wear a mask that fully protects the nose

and mouth correctly and regularly.

• Maintain a minimum of six feet of

separation from those who do not reside

with you.

• Steer clear of crowds.

• Avoid indoor areas that are

inadequately ventilated.

• When you are ill, stay at home.

• Hands should be washed regularly

with soap and water for a minimum of 20

seconds (or use hand sanitizer with at

least 60 percent alcohol).

• Get yourself vaccinated as soon as the

vaccine becomes accessible.

• Get tested whether you have indications of COVID-19 or believe you might have

been exposed to an infected individual.

• Avoid contact with anyone, especially when you have been exposed to an

individual with COVID-19, are ill, or have been infected with COVID-19.

• Remain at home if you are experiencing COVID-19 signs, have been diagnosed

with COVID-19, are awaiting COVID-19 test results, or have recently been

introduced to someone who has COVID-19

• Inspect the public swim field, spa, water playground, or hot tub to determine

whether precautions have been taken to avoid the transmission of the virus.

• Bring items that will assist you and others in being safe, such as a mask (or two,

one for each user in case one gets wet), hand sanitizer containing at least 60%

alcohol, tissues, disinfectant wipes, and paper towels.

While at the Beach

• Stay at least 6 feet away from those you don’t live with, whether you’re in or out of

the pool.

• Avoid busy swim areas, beaches, lakes, water playgrounds, and hot tubs where

you cannot stand more than six feet apart from other people.

• If you are not in the pool, wear a mask.

40


• Never use a mask on an infant under the age of two or on someone who is

having difficulty breathing, unconscious or incapacitated, or otherwise unable to

remove the mask without assistance.

• Masks are critical when physical distancing is difficult to maintain.

• Wash your hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and water, particularly before

eating or drinking and when entering and exiting the swim area. If soap and water

are unavailable, use a hand sanitizer containing at least 60% alcohol and massage

the hands until they are dry.

• Hand sanitizers are ineffective on hands that are clearly sticky or greasy, so

make sure to brush away any sand or soil before applying.

• Avoid exchanging things such as food, appliances, games, and tools with nonfamily

members.

• If you are not wearing your mask, cover coughs and sneezes with a cloth or the

inside of your elbow, discard the towel, and wash your hands instantly, or use hand

sanitizer if soap and water are not accessible.

Summer is already here, but so is a recent spike in coronavirus cases as the

pandemic continues. Whether you’re thinking about visiting the beach or the local

pool, many people are still understandably afraid of catching the infection. That

said, it is best to continue taking safety precautions even while on vacation not

only to protect yourself but others, too.

From Plasma TV’s and

homes contain more electronics

than ever. With

this automation comes an

increased vulnerability to

the effects of surges.

One lightning storm could cost

a homeowner thousands, even

tens of thousands of dollars

worth of damage to the electronics

in a home. Once a surge

enters a home and damages

the electronic components, the

homeowner is forced to embark

on a time-consuming and frustrating

journey. One must:

• Diagnose all of the issues

• Attempt to find all locations of

damage

• Determine if your equipment

is under warranty

• Locate replacement products

• Contact numerous service

departments

A homeowner can help protect

against such damage with a

comprehensive approach to

surge protection. Eaton’s surge

suppression products offer

the homeowner a complete

approach, by offering both Stage

I and Stage II surge protection.

Stage I: Service Entrance

Protection is designed to provide

premier surge protection for

AC power, telephone and cable

at the point of entrance to the

home. Protection at this location

can reduce surges to an

acceptable level for surge strips

to handle at the point of use.

Stage II: Point of use surge

strips are designed to offer premier

surge protection for specific

electronics while providing

innovative features to enhance

user convenience safety.

Flexible Online Courses Offer

an Alternate Route to Education

During Lockdown

72

Throughout the past decade, various

technological advancements, in addition

to high demand for more accessible and

low-cost education, have led to major growth

for the online education industry. Furthermore,

the popularity of online education is expected to

accelerate even further now that the pandemic

and the attempts to fight it have resulted in

millions around the world to transition to online

education solution. According to a research by

Research and Markets, the global e-learning

market is expected to reach USD 325 Billion by

2025 from USD 107 Billion in 2015. As a result of

the social distancing and quarantine measures,

video conferencing platforms such as Zoom

and WebEx are now at peek popularity, as are

learning management systems like Instructure’s

Canvas, Blackboard and Google Classroom.

Many, including those hit by furloughs and

layoffs, were forced to put off attending

college last fall. Meanwhile, many early-career

professionals have found themselves in a

different boat. Being able to continue working,

often from home, many found themselves with

more free time. Richard Garrett, Chief Research

Officer at Eduventures explained how thousands

of them decided that “this is the time to invest

in myself, come what may,” and enrolled in an

online master’s program. “The pandemic,” he

said, “gave them an extra shove.”


Meten EdtechX Education Group Ltd. (NASDAQ: METX) announced breaking news earlier this

week that, “the Company has launched SVIP courses to address the high-end adult ELT market.

As China continues its globalization efforts, the demand for international communication is

becoming more urgent than ever and thus, the high-end adult ELT market has tremendous

potential. Compared with other sub-fields, high-end adult ELT addresses more diversified

customer needs, including, but not limited to, international business negotiations and

international cultural exchanges. In order to meet different customer needs, educational

institutions are required to have highly professional teachers in order to provide comprehensive

teaching services.

As a key player in the Chinese ELT market, Meten EdtechX has been formulating more highend

SVIP courses for China’s high-net-worth students/users by providing them with customized

courses. These customized courses will be provided through flexible and diverse teaching

methods, such as remote teaching via video and telephone and face-to-face teaching at our

offline learning centers. Students can choose different teaching modes to suite their special

needs and achieve the best learning results they expect.

Taking into account the recent positive developments relating to the COVID-19 vaccines and the

continuous recovery of China’s economy, the demand for international exchanges is expected to

be gradually restored. The launch of the SVIP courses at this moment is strategic as we plan to

lay the foundation for the growth of this segment, which we believe would enable the Company

to grasp the opportunity to diversify its scope of services and address the high-end adult ELT

market. Building on Meten EdtechX’s years of brand awareness, the Company expects that the

SVIP courses will become another strong growth point in 2021.”

Don’t Make A Slow Recovery More

Difficult with Quarantine Measures

The International Air Transport Association

(IATA) released new analysis showing

that the damage to air travel from

COVID-19 extends into the medium-term, with

long-haul / international travel being the most

severely impacted. Quarantine measures on

arrival would further damage confidence in

air travel. A risk-based layered approach of

globally harmonized biosecurity measures is

critical for the restart.

Read remarks of Alexandre de Juniac

View the COVID-19 Outlook for Air Travel in

the Next 5 Years presentation

Air travel scenarios

IATA and Tourism Economics modeled two air

travel scenarios.

Baseline Scenario

• This is contingent on domestic markets

opening in Q3, with a much slower phased

opening of international markets. This would

limit the air travel recovery, despite most

forecasts pointing toward a strong economic

rebound late this year and during 2021.

• In 2021 we expect global passenger

demand (measured in revenue passenger

kilometers, RPKs) to be 24% below 2019

levels and 32% lower than IATA’s October

2019 Air Passenger forecast for 2021.

• We don’t expect 2019 levels to be

exceeded until 2023.

76


• As international markets open and economies recover, there will

be further growth in air travel from the 2020 low point. But even

by 2025 we would expect global RPKs to be 10% lower than the

previous forecast.

Pessimistic Scenario

• This is based on a slower opening of economies and relaxation of

travel restrictions, with lockdowns extending into Q3, possibly due

to a second wave of the virus. This would further delay the recovery

of air travel.

• In this case, global RPKs in 2021 could be 34% lower than 2019

levels and 41% below our previous forecast for 2021.

“Major stimulus from governments combined with liquidity

injections by central banks will boost the economic recovery

once the pandemic is under control. But rebuilding passenger

confidence will take longer. And even then, individual and

corporate travelers are likely to carefully manage travel spend and

stay closer to home,” said Alexandre de Juniac, IATA’s Director

General and CEO.

Long-Haul Travel Impact will be

Longer Lasting

When the recovery begins, it is

expected to be led by domestic travel.

• An IATA survey of recent air travelers

conducted in April 2020 found that

58% are somewhat or very likely to

restrict their initial travel to domestic

journeys.

• Domestic Revenue Passenger

Kilometers (RPKs) will only recover

to 2019 levels by 2022. International

RPKs are only expected to return to

2019 levels in 2024.

“The impacts of the crisis on long-haul travel will be much more severe and of a longer

duration than what is expected in domestic markets. This makes globally agreed and

implemented biosecurity standards for the travel process all the more critical. We have a

small window to avoid the consequences of uncoordinated unilateral measures that marked

the post-9.11 period. We must act fast,” said de Juniac.

Avoid Quarantine Measures

IATA strongly urges governments

to find alternatives to maintaining

or introducing arrival quarantine

measures as part of post-pandemic

travel restrictions. IATA’s April

survey of recent air travelers

showed that

• 86% of travelers were somewhat

or very concerned about being

quarantined while traveling, and

• 69% of recent travelers would not

consider travelling if it involved a

14-day quarantine period.

80

“Even in the best of circumstances

this crisis will cost many jobs

and rob the economy of years

of aviation-stimulated growth.


To protect aviation’s ability to be a catalyst for the economic recovery, we must

not make that prognosis worse by making travel impracticable with quarantine

measures. We need a solution for safe travel that addresses two challenges. It must

give passengers confidence to travel safely and without undue hassle. And it must

give governments confidence that they are protected from importing the virus. Our

proposal is for a layering of temporary non-quarantine measures until we have a

vaccine, immunity passports or nearly instant COVID-19 testing available at scale,”

said de Juniac.

IATA’s proposal for a temporary risk-based layered approach to provide governments

with the confidence to open their border without quarantining arrivals includes:

• Preventing travel by those who are symptomatic with temperature screening and

other measures

• Addressing the risks of asymptomatic travelers with governments managing a

robust system of health declarations and vigorous contact tracing.

The mutual recognition of agreed measures is critical for the resumption of

international travel. This is a key deliverable of the COVID-19 Aviation Recovery Task

Force (CART) of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).

“CART has a very big job to do with little time to waste. It must find an agreement

among states on the measures needed to control COVID-19 as aviation re-starts. And

it must build confidence among governments that borders can be opened to travelers

because a layered approach of measures has been properly implemented globally.

IATA and the whole industry support this critical work,” said de Juniac.

Vaccine R&D will be a Substantial

Beneficiary in Artificial

Intelligence

The “Artificial Intelligence in

Epidemiology Market by AI

Type, Infrastructure, Deployment

Model, and Services 2021 - 2026”

report recently released.

This global AI epidemiology and

public health market report provides

a comprehensive evaluation of the

positive impact that AI technology will

produce with respect to healthcare

informatics, and public healthcare

management, and epidemiology

analysis and response. The report

assesses the macro factors affecting

the market and the resulting need for

hardware and software technology

used in the public healthcare and

epidemiology informatics.

84

The macro factors include the growth

drivers and challenges of the market

along with the potential application

and usage areas in public health

industry verticals. The report also

provides the anticipated market

value of AI in the public health and

epidemiology informatics market

globally and regionally. This includes

core technology and AI-specific

technologies. Market forecasts cover

the period of 2021 - 2026.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention

sees epidemiology as the study and analysis

of the distribution, patterns and determinants

of health and disease conditions in defined

populations. It is a cornerstone of public health

and shapes policy decisions and evidencebased

practice by identifying risk factors for

disease and targets for preventive healthcare.

This includes identification of the factors

involved with diseases transmitted by food and

water, acquired during travel or recreational


activities, bloodborne and sexually transmitted diseases, and nosocomial infections such

as hospital-acquired illnesses. Epidemiology is also concerned with the identification of

trends and predictive capabilities to prevent diseases.

Sources of disease data include medical claims data (commercial claims, Medicare),

electronic healthcare records (EHR) including medical treatment facilities and

pharmacies, death registries and socioeconomic data. It is important to note that some

data is highly structured whereas other data elements are highly unstructured, such as

data gathered from social media and Web scraping.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) will increasingly be relied upon to improve the efficiency and

effectiveness of transforming data correlation to meaningful insights and information. For

example, machine learning has been used to gather Web search and location data as a

means of identifying potential unsafe areas, such as restaurants involved in food-borne

illnesses.

The combination of data aggregation from multiple sources with machine learning and

advanced analytics will greatly improve the efficacy of epidemiology predictive models.

For example, machine learning allows epidemiologists to evaluate as many variables as

desired without increasing statistical error, a problem that often arises with multiple testing

bias, which is a condition that occurs when each additional test run on the data increases

the possibility for error against a hypothetical target result.

Another example of AI in epidemiology is the use of natural language processing to

capture clinical notes for preservation in EHR databases. As part of data capture and

identification of most important information, AI will also be used to validate key terms

to identify conditions, diagnoses and exposures that are otherwise difficult to capture/

identify through traditional data source mining. This will be used for data discovery and

validation as well as knowledge representation.

An extremely important and high growth area for AI in epidemiology is drug discovery,

safety, and risk analysis, which we anticipate will be a $699 million global market by

2026. Other high opportunity areas for AI are disease and syndromic surveillance,

infection prediction and forecasting, monitoring population and incidence of disease,

and use of AI in Immunization Information Systems (IIS). In addition to mapping

vaccinations to disease incidence, the IIS will leverage AI to identify the impact of

public sentiment analysis and for public safety services such as mass notification.


Select Report Findings:

The total global AI in the epidemiology market will reach USD $9.7 billion

by 2026

Machine learning in the epidemiology market will reach USD $1.2 billion

by 2026

Related to vaccine R&D, AI in drug discovery and risk analysis will reach

$699 million by 2026

AI will support various disease-related public health and safety services

such as mass notification

EHR databases will be the foundation, but AI will leverage many sources

for disease-related data aggregation

Epidemiologic predictive models will be dramatically improved through

advanced data analytics and various AI tools and techniques

AI improves the efficiency and effectiveness of transforming healthcare

data correlation to meaningful disease insights and information

Covid-T Clinical Development

Program Initiated Regulatory

Advisory Group Engaged

92

BioVaxys Technology Corp. (CSE: BIOV)

(FRA: 5LB) (OTC: LMNGF) (“BioVaxys”

or “Company”) is pleased to announce

that it has initiated the clinical development

program for Covid-T, the Company’s

novel diagnostic platform for detecting T-cell

activity. The US Food and Drug Administration

(“FDA”) has tentatively agreed to permit that

BioVaxys can file for a pre-Emergency Use

Authorization (“EUA”) for Covid-T. Under an

EUA, FDA may allow the use of unapproved

medical products, or unapproved uses of

approved medical products in an emergency

to diagnose, treat, or prevent serious or

life-threatening diseases or conditions

when certain statutory criteria have been

met, including that there are no adequate,

approved, and available alternatives.

Covid-T addresses an unmet need for a lowcost,

easy-to-administer, and accurate tool to

test for the presence of T-cells which may offer

lasting protection against SARS-CoV-2.

It is believed that detection of T-cells can

potentially identify safe and/or at-risk

populations. Covid-T also provides an ability

to evaluate the effectiveness of any SARS-

CoV-2 vaccine candidate in stimulating T-cell

immunity. Mass availability of Covid-T would

complement antibody testing and various

public health risk mitigation strategies.

James Passin, CEO of BioVaxys, stated, “We

believe that our low cost, scalable, easy-toadminister

test for T cell immunity to SARS-

CoV-2 may help solve the urgent global public

health crisis of prioritizing the distribution

of Covid-19 vaccines; we look forward

to rapidly advancing Covid-T towards

commercialization.”

Current methods of measuring T-cell immunity


require drawing blood from the test subject,

followed by a time-consuming and expensive

analysis of the blood sample at laboratories

possessing specialized equipment.

Covid-T is based on the well-established

concept of Delayed Type Hypersensitivity

(“DTH”), the oldest and most reliable test of

human T lymphocyte function. The process

involves an intradermal “skin prick” of an

immunogenic composition of the SARS-CoV-2

S-protein, where an inflammatory response

develops 24-72 hours after skin exposure to the

s-spike antigen.

BioVaxys anticipates that once clinical testing

is complete, Covid-T would have the potential

for detecting differences in T-cell responses

between the original SARS-CoVC-2 virus and

the two new strains of SARS-Cov-2 the had

originally been identified in the UK and South

Africa---B.1.1.7 and 501Y.V2, respectively---

but which are spreading worldwide

“Although our vaccine programs are of major

importance to us, Covid-T is a priority for

BioVaxys, especially given the unmet need for

such a simple, disposable, and accurate tool to

test for the presence of T-cells against SARS-

CoV-2,” says BioVaxys President and Chief

Operating Officer Ken Kovan.

BioVaxys has prepared the clinical

development plan for Covid-T, and

engaged global regulatory advisory group

Rio Pharmaceutical Services (“RPS”) of

Bridgewater, NJ, to provide strategic regulatory

guidance, prepare an FDA pre-submission

guidance package, recommend regulatory

pathway, and support BioVaxys on the

registration filing.

RPS has provided pharmaceutical and

medical-device advisory services across the

entire drug, biologic and device development

and approval spectrum of the pharmaceutical

industry since 2000. Collectively, the RPS team

of pharmaceutical industry executives offers

nearly 150 years of experience in providing

advice and support services for medical,

scientific, clinical-trial and regulatory issues

to clients including a majority of Fortune 500

pharmaceutical companies.

Since Covid-T requires a biological

substance to be placed intradermally, a

nonclinical study will be needed to establish

the risk profile prior to the start of clinical

studies.

BioVaxys plans to shortly conduct a

GLP animal toxicology study, is currently

evaluating proposals from Contract Research

Organizations (CROs), and is in the process of

obtaining the appropriate cell lines, expression

systems, and licenses so as to produce its own

supply of SARS-CoV-2 s-spike protein.

The Company is not making any express

or implied claims that its product line has

the ability to eliminate, cure, or contain the

Covid-19 (or SARS-2 Coronavirus) at this time.

4 Best Ways to Ace that

Engineering Interview

Just like interviewers spend time researching and formulating

the right interview questions, interviewees should also prepare

adequately for an interview. Going the extra mile to prepare for an

interview can be daunting, but the results always pay off.

The basics of a candidate preparing for an interview include

researching the company, preparing to answer questions, getting

your interview clothes ready, and practising interview etiquette. Such

preparations can help you perform incredibly well on your big day.

However, preparing for an engineering interview is somewhat different,

and it is easier said than done. Some nitty-gritty aspects will reduce

your chances of getting selected if you don’t look into them before

heading for the interview.

96


Here is how to effectively prepare for an engineering interview.

Research the Company

This is the first step when preparing for any job interview. When

researching, candidates are most likely to identify basic things such

as a company’s goals and objectives, culture, and competitors, to

mention a few.

When researching an engineering company, there are other significant

things you ought to identify and familiarize yourself with.

Engineering companies are always looking for high-end

solutions to solve problems.

You can research the current technical issue the company is dealing

with, and during the interview, you can state how you will contribute to

the course. It can earn you more selection marks.

Prepare to Showcase Your Achievements

Whether you are fresh from college or have a few years of working

experience, you should prepare to present concrete achievements

when preparing for an engineering interview. This means showing how

and where you have applied your engineering skills.

If you have a solution to a specific

problem the company is facing,

showcasing how you solved a

past technical issue is vital. Your

interviewers may find this as a bonus

besides your degree.

It would be best to also boost your

skills with other degrees such as

different MBA specialisations or any

other practical course along with such

achievements.

Improve Your Technical

Knowledge

Engineering entails practical work

skills and knowledge. If you want

to ace that interview, it would be

best to plan and work on your

technical knowledge. Most engineers

who have just graduated and are

looking forward to finding the right

employment always miss out on

opportunities for lacking enough

technical knowledge.

To boost how you will perform at the

interview, you should start by revising

all your university notes. Employers

always look forward to assessing

your ability level of understanding

and answering interview questions

by providing technical answers and

solutions.

So, while preparing, ensure you

familiarize yourself with all the

engineering concepts you learned in

the university to appear qualified for

the job.

Be Yourself

Like any other interview session, you ought to be yourself.

It would be best if you tried to be as natural as you

possibly can. Employers want to know more about you in

a natural way rather than someone who recites who they

are.

It would also be best to find a proper balance between

your achievements and some of your failures. For

instance, if you can be honest about something you

did and didn’t work out how you had imagined it, your

potential employers might appreciate such honesty.

Additionally, try to learn more about the people who

will be interviewing you to have formal and informal

interactions during the interview. With the above tips,

nothing can prevent you from getting selected.

5 Preventative Maintenance Tips

For Industrial Vehicles

A

report by the Philippine National Police reveals that human error accounts for about 9 in

ten vehicle accidents nationwide, according to Yahoo News. Distracted driving and driving

under the influence are common causes of vehicle crashes. However, mechanical failure

in automobiles is a common cause of accidents, especially in the industrial sector. That’s why

keeping industrial vehicles in excellent working conditions is crucial. Routine inspections and

maintenance boost efficiency and reduce the risk of breakdowns caused by engine problems

and brake failure while driving. Below are a few preventative maintenance tips for industrial

vehicles you should prioritize.

Inspect Brakes Regularly

Operating on faulty brakes is dangerous

because you’ll have no control over

your truck or tractor. In most cases,

dysfunctional brakes cause drivers to

steer on one side of the road leading to

catastrophic accidents. To prevent crashing

into objects, people, and other vehicles,

make it a habit to inspect your brakes

regularly. Watch out for wear and tear in

brake lines, pads, and discs. Also, be

cautious of leaking brake fluids, vibrations,

squealing noises, and soft brake pedals.

These are signs your brakes are failing and

require repairs or replacements. Prioritizing

brake maintenance is key to ensuring your

truck stops safely, especially when carrying

heavy loads or driving in dangerous terrain.

104


Prioritize Lubrication

Keeping loaders and trucks well

lubricated using high-quality

lubricants should be a top priority.

As simple as it may sound, applying

lubricants on various vehicle parts

prevents wear and tear. As a

general rule of thumb, lubricate all

truck components before hauling

any load. Inspect the drivetrain

for leaks and slops. Failure to do

so often leads to breakdowns and

expensive repairs.

Check Fluid Levels

Checking fluid levels in truck

components, such as the engine,

coolant, transmission, and brake

systems, is one of the best ways

to avoid mechanical failure in

industrial automobiles. This step

helps you detect whether you have

a fluid leak or overconsumption

problem. Typically, a drop in fluid

levels between inspections shows

a mechanical problem in the

truck or skid steer needs repairs

immediately.

Monitor The Tires

Tires require proper maintenance as they play a

critical role in ensuring tractor-trailers, skid steers, and

other industrial vehicles function efficiently and safely.

Since tires are your primary contact with the road

whenever you’re driving, ensure they are correctly

inflated. Remember, under-inflated tires reduce

fuel efficiency and affect weight distribution. This

causes problems with traction, braking, steering, and

alignment. Over-inflated tires blow out and cause fatal

accidents. Therefore, commit to inspecting your truck’s

tire pressure and inflate them properly. Also, check

the tread depth to ensure you can operate safely in

and around the job site. In the case the tread depth

doesn’t meet the set requirements, replace your tires.

Investing in rubber tire tracks is an excellent option if

you’re operating a compact track loader. Tire tracks

boost traction when driving on mud, ice, or loose sand,

increasing safety and productivity.

108


Change Oils

Besides checking fluids, consider changing oils in your industrial

vehicle engine at least every 5,000 to 7,000 miles. However, it’s

advisable to change oils based on how you use compact track

loaders, utility vehicles, and forklifts. For example, if you drive

industrial trucks or tractors under extreme temperatures or haul

heavy loads, change your oils more frequently. Doing so helps

prolong your engine’s lifespan.

Maintaining industrial vehicles in excellent working conditions

is essential if you are looking at increasing productivity and

safety. So, get into the habit of changing engine oils, keeping

your vehicle components lubed, replacing worn-out brakes, and

ensuring tires are well inflated. Also, test the battery, engine, and

electrical systems for faults, and carry out the repairs.
