the following conditions occur:
·The operator has been observed to operate the vehicle in an unsafe
manner

incident
·The operator has received an evaluation that reveals that the
operator is not operating the truck safely
·The operator is assigned to drive a different type of truck; or
·A condition in the workplace changes in a manner that could affect
safe operation of the truck.

initially and when/if any of the following conditions occur:
