SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
AVOID INJURY FROM BACK-OVER AND
SWING ACCIDENTS
To avoid back-over and swing accidents:
Always look around before you back up and swing the
machine. Be sure that everyone is in the clear.
Keep travel alarm in working condition (if equipped).
Always be alert for bystanders moving into the work
area. Use horn or other signal to warm bystanders before
moving machine.
A person could stand behind the machine, in a dead
area, not visible from rearview mirrors. Before backing
up, make sure nobody is standing in that area.
Use a signal person when backing up if you view is
obstructed. Always keep signal person in view.
Use hand signals when work conditions require signal
person.
No excavator or backhoe motions shall be made unless
signals are clearly understood by both signalman and
operator.
Learn the meaning of all flags, signs, and markings used
on the job and confirm who has the responsibility for
signaling.
When operating in potential dangerous areas, or in
areas with low visibility, use a person for machine shifts.
Before starting machine shifting, warm people near the
working area by means of the horn.
Keep windows, mirrors, and lights clean and in good
condition.
Dust, heavy rain, fog etc., can reduce visibility. As
visibility decreases, reduce speed and use proper
lighting.
