Mirrors and CCTV
The operator must survey their surroundings before entering
the machine, and check their field of vision prior to and dur-
ing operation of the machine. All mirrors must be adjusted
when installed, and prior to operating the machine, to achieve
optimum visibility and thus minimize the risk of injury to
themselves and others. Site management should utilize
appropriate jobsite organization to minimize hazards due to
restricted visibility. Modifications made to the machine may
restrict the visibility and compromise compliance with safety
standards (ISO 5006:2006).
Make sure that all mirrors are installed and adjusted to optimize oper-
ator visibility. The mirrors, illustrated below, are all capable of adjust-
ment. Make sure that the brackets which support these mirrors are
folded out from the cab to form an angle of 90 degrees. These brack-
ets may be folded parallel to the cab for transportation of the machine.
Set the mirrors in the defined position shown in the illustration.
