Prepare for Safe Operation
Protect Yourself
Wear all the protective clothing and personal safety devices issued to you
or called for by job conditions. Don’t take chances.
You may need:
•
A hard hat.
•
Safety glasses, goggles, or face
shield.
•
Hearing protection.
•
Respirator or filter mask.
•
Foul weather clothing.
•
Reflective clothing.
•
Heavy gloves (neoprene for
chemicals, leather for rough
work).
•
Safety boots.
Note where fire extinguishers and
first-aid or emergency equipment is
kept and get to know where to find help
in a hurry. Make sure you know how to
use this equipment.
DO NOT wear loose clothing, jewellery or other items and tie up long hair
which could entangle in controls or other parts of the tractor.
Risks from exposure to noise
The tractor and any implements attached to it constitute a source of noise
of which the intensity and frequency can be measured using the
appropriate instruments.
Anyone who uses the tractor must know that:
–
exposure to excessive and/or prolonged noise can cause serious
damage, not just to the hearing but also to general health. The higher
the noise level (dbA) and the greater the duration of exposure, the
higher the risk. The combination of both these factors can be ex-
pressed in the value LEP (level of personal exposure to noise).
–
you therefore need to know the noise level generated by the tractor.
This information can be found in the Use and Maintenance Handbook,
under the chapter heading “Technical Data”.
