Operate Safely
Watch Out For Hazardous Working Conditions
Be alert for hazards. Know where you are at all times.
Watch for branches, cables and doorways. Watch for
unstable soil.
Use caution when working along docks, runways, banks
and slopes. Keep away from the edge of drop-offs or
gullies.
Use caution when working beneath an overhang or next
to a high bank. Be careful not to undercut a high bank
or overhang causing material to fall on your machine or
a collapse of the bank.
WARNING! Extreme caution should be used when
working along the top of banks or slopes. Watch for
loose areas or overhangs. Keep away from the edge.
The edges could collapse or a slide could occur causing
serious injury or death.
Stay alert! Cave-ins are hazardous.
Use caution in backlling or other activities near an
excavation. Do not get too close to the wall. The
combined weight of your machine and the load could
cause the wall to collapse.
If necessary when working under hazardous conditions,
use a second person to warn of dangers. Make certain
they do not get too close to the loader.
