Fall back, stay alert. ⏰🚗 When Daylight Saving Time ends, even a small change to your sleep schedule can leave you feeling tired. Frequent yawning, drifting out of your lane, or missing exits? These could be signs of drowsy driving. Whether you’re driving for work or heading home after a long shift, don’t ignore the warning signs. If you're too tired to drive, stop somewhere safe to rest or find another way home. The clocks may change, but your safety shouldn’t take a back seat. Learn more: osha.gov/motor-vehicle-safet…

The partnership between @USDOL and @NCDOL has been one of the strongest in the country under @POTUS. It was great to join North Carolina Labor Commissioner @LukeFarleyNC and @OSHA_DOL’s Assistant Secretary David Keeling at LiftOne Headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the North Carolina OSHA State Plan. Because of this close collaboration, we’re ensuring the safety of every North Carolinian as they achieve career success in the workplace and there’s no better place to celebrate this historic partnership than at LiftOne Headquarters where safety in heavy equipment-intensive industries is best exemplified. 📍Charlotte, North Carolina
