Jacked up vehicle or bodywork
Risks
Mechanical or hydraulic lifting equipment may topple and
could also be lowered because of incorrect handling or
interference.
Falling objects may also cause crushing.
Protective measures
Do not crawl underneath a vehicle that is jacked
up without stands.
Check that the supporting surface is firm and level
and use stands.
Before starting to work under a jacked up body or other
bodywork it has to be supported with a stay as well as the
normal latches.
Protection against sinking or falling vehicle/
components
• Use safe stands, check that the supporting surface
is suitable.
• Use reliable stays and secure in the normal manner.
Crushing and Cutting Danger
Keep objects away from moving fan blades. Fan blades can throw and cut
objects.
Do not use a wire rope that is kinked or frayed, or a wire rope with any loss
of diameter. Wear leather gloves when handling a wire rope.
When striking a loose retainer pin, it can fly out and can cause a serious
injury. Make sure that area is clear of personnel when striking a retainer pin.
To avoid injury to your eyes, wear safety goggles when striking a retainer
pin.
Do not put your hand, arm or any other part of your body between movable
parts. If going between movable parts is necessary, always position and se-
cure work equipment so it cannot move. Properly support equipment before
performing any work or maintenance under raised equipment.
If control levers are operated, clearance between machine and work equip-
ment will change and this may lead to serious damage or can result in death
or serious injury. Stay clear of areas that may have a sudden change in
clearance with machine movement or equipment movement. Stay clear of
all rotating and moving parts. Unless instructed, never attempt adjustments
while machine is moving or while engine is running.
Do not depend on hydraulic cylinders to support raised equipment. Equip-
ment can fall if a control is moved, or if a hydraulic line breaks, is loosened
or disconnected.
If it is necessary to remove guards to perform maintenance, always install
guards after maintenance is completed.
Always have at least two people working together if the engine
must be runing during service. One person needs to remain in
the operator's seat, ready to work the controls to stop the
machine or stop engine, if necessary.
