They are also trying to tell me I need to set up a safety program.
You already have a safety program. It's called a self tailboard. You do it every day, every moment. You start your day thinking about what you have to do and what tools and equipment you'll need. When on the road, you look at every situation and think about what could happen and what you might do in that situation. Example, you stop at an intersection. What might happen? Someone might run a red light. What will you do? One thing you'll do is look both ways before you proceed on your green. The light turns green, you look both ways and go. (BTW, most people call this common sense.) At the end of the day you think about what you might need to do the next day.
Self tailboard. A great safety program.
