Technology has it's place. It finds value only when coupled with operators who have been trained properly and the company leadership truly values safety. Too many times I've seen lazy, irresponsible management experience an accident and their first responses; "can't we limit the truck?" or "let's redesign the layout of the facility" or "let's add mirrors, lights, and technology". None of that will have a significant impact on the environment if proper training is not happening and management is actively demonstrating their desire that everyone go home every night and have supper with their families... and not ending up in the emergency room or worse... the morgue. You can't get that with technology alone.

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
