WARNING

Slipping, tripping and

falling hazards

There is a risk of slipping or tripping or falling, for

example tripping on the hoses or on other objects.

Slipping or tripping or falling can cause injury. To

reduce this risk:

►

Always make sure that no hose or other object is

in your way or in any other person's way.

Always make sure you are in a stable position with

►

your feet as far apart as your shoulders width and

keeping a balanced body weight.

WARNING

Dust and fume hazard

Dusts and/or fumes generated or dispersed when

using the machine may cause serious and permanent

respiratory disease, illness, or other bodily injury (for

example, silicosis or other irreversible lung disease

that can be fatal, cancer, birth defects, and/or skin

inflammation).

Some dusts and fumes created by compaction work

contain substances known to the State of California

and other authorities to cause respiratory disease,

cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

Some examples of such substances are:

Crystalline silica, cement, and other masonry

products.

Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated

rubber.

Lead from lead-based paints.

Dust and fumes in the air can be invisible to the

naked eye, so do not rely on eye sight to determine

if there is dust or fumes are the air.

To reduce the risk of exposure to dust and fumes,

do all of the following:

Perform site-specific risk assessment. The risk

►

assessment must include dust and fumes created

by the use of the machine and the potential for

disturbing existing dust.

Use proper engineering controls to minimize the

►

amount of dust and fumes in the air and to

minimize build-up on equipment, surfaces,

clothing, and body parts. Examples of controls

include: exhaust ventilation and dust collection

systems, water sprays, and wet drilling. Control

dusts and fumes at the source where possible.

Make sure that controls are properly installed,

maintained and correctly used.

Wear, maintain and correctly use respiratory

►

protection as instructed by your employer and as

required by occupational health and safety

regulations. The respiratory protection must be

effective for the type of substance at issue (and if

applicable, approved by relevant governmental

authority).

►

Work in a well ventilated area.
