2.6 Work Site Preparation
Never place any part of the body under or behind guards or any other visually
obscured area.
Making sure the leaves are clear of possible dangerous material is critical to safe
vacuuming. Vacuuming up metal, glass, rocks or other dangerous material CAN
cause serious damage to the equipment or personal injury.
The following guidelines must be followed to insure safety.
1. An inspection of the leaves to be vacuumed must be done prior to the
vacuuming process. We realize that it is impossible to completely inspect
every inch of leaves being vacuumed, but it is imperative that all leaves
be inpsected for obvious dangerous material before vacuuming.
2. The operator should never be in the line of trafc, the operator should
work on the shoulder whenever possible.
3. The operators should place cones or other barriers to provide adequate
warnings to vehicles and pedestrians that vacuuming is in progress.
4. Strobe lights on the leaf vacuum and on the tow vehicle should be on at
all times for high visibility.
5. Conrm that all operators are wearing proper clothes and personal pro-
tective equipment.
6. Restrict all personnel, except the operator from the area near the leaf
vacuum. DO NOT allow pedestrians, children or animals near the work
area.
7. Make sure that the exhaust hose (if equipped) ts properly into the box
container so that all debris is blown into the box container.
