Work sites can be hazardous. Inspect the site before working on it.
Check for potholes, weak ground, hidden rocks and other possible hazards on the
ground. Check for utilities (such as electric cables, gas and water pipes). Mark the
positions of underground cables and pipes if you will be breaking the ground.
Poor visibility can cause accidents and damage. Make sure that visibility and
lighting of the working area are adequate.
Banked material and trenches can collapse. Do not work too close to banks and
trenches where there is a danger of collapse.
Unguarded equipment in public places can be dangerous. Place barriers around the
machine to keep people away.
