Turning/Driving in Reverse
While operating a mobile crane in reverse, the risk of accident or injury is greater and extra
caution must be exercised.
Danger of accidents and personnel injury are increased when operating in reverse.
To minimize the risk of personnel injury or property damage, the following cautions must be
observed.
• When backing up, the driver must be aware of the needs of other traffic and their safety.
• If the driver does not have visual access to all the areas into which he will be travelling,
a guide, who is in communication with the driver at all times, must be used who can
see those areas the driver cannot.
•
An acoustical back-up warning device does not replace the need for a guide.
• Be certain that no personnel or objects are behind the vehicle before moving.
Be certain no injury or death may occur during backing operations.
Be certain no property damage will occur during backing operations.
• Rated maneuvering speed is the maximum speed allowed while backing up.
• Follow all other regulations pertaining to driving on construction sites or on local streets.
