Asbestos Dust Hazard Prevention
Asbestos dust can be HAZARDOUS to your health if it is
inhaled. Materials containing asbestos fiber can be present on
work site. Breathing air that contains asbestos fiber can
ultimately cause serious or fatal lung damage. To prevent lung
damage from asbestos fiber, observe following precautions;
• Use a respirator that is approved for use in an
asbestos-laden atmosphere.
• Never use compressed air for cleaning.
• Use water for cleaning to keep down the dust.
• Work on the machine or component with the wind at
your back whenever possible.
• Always observe any rules and regulations related to
the work site and working environment.
Injury from Work Equipment
Do not enter or put your hand, arm or any other part of your body
between movable parts, such as between the work equipment
and cylinders, or between the machine and work equipment.
If the control levers are operated, the clearance between the
machine and the work equipment will change and this may lead
to serious damage or personal injury.
If going between movable parts is necessary, always position
and secure the work equipment so that it cannot move.
Fire Extinguisher and First Aid Kit
As a precaution if any injury or fire should occur, always do the
following.
• Be sure that fire extinguishers have been provided
and read the labels to ensure that you know now to
use them. It is recommended that an appropriately
sized (2.27 kg [5 lb] or larger) multipurpose "A/B/C"
fire extinguisher be mounted in the cabin. Check and
service the fire extinguisher at regular intervals and
make sure that all work site crew members are
adequately trained in its use.
• Provide a first aid kit in the storage compartment and
keep another at the work site. Check the kit
periodically and make any additions if necessary.
• Know what to do in case of injury from fire.
• Keep emergency numbers for doctor, ambulance
service, hospital and fire department near your
telephone.
