the operator. To eliminate risk, ensure that an effective barrier is
created around the operating machinery.
• Ensure that the operating area is free from hazards before work
commences.
• Appropriate hearing protection should be used if the operator is
using the Dingo for prolonged periods in one day. If the Dingo is to
be used in an enclosed area for prolonged periods in a day, both
the operator and others working around the Dingo should wear
