- When working in congested areas, use the due signals;
when carrying out work that involves several machines,
use signals that will be recognised by everyone in atten-
dance. Appoint one person to signal and coordinate the
work zone. Ensure that everyone follows the directions
given by the person in charge of signalling.
- When work conditions require a person on the ground,
he or she must use hand signals that comply with local
regulations.
- Beware when working on the edge of an excavation or a
road, or on unstable ground. Keep at a safe distance, the
machine could roll-over. Use a person on the ground for
signalling. Do not forget that after heavy rain, the use of
explosives or earthquakes, the ground will be more fragile.
- The machine can roll-over or slide on sloping ground.
Adopt the due precautions.
- Always travel in a straight line when ascending or de-
scending slopes. Travelling crossways or along the slo-
pe is extremely dangerous.
