Workplace safety
Before you start operation, check the working area for
dangerous working conditions.
Inspect the surface of the soil in the working area and
determine the optimum and safest procedure.
Determine the required safety measures against dangers on
public roads in co-operation with the owners, users, and
responsible authorities.
On sites where there are underground water pipes, gas
pipes, or conduits for high voltage cables, contact the
responsible supply company to determine the lines' positions.
Ensure that these facilities will not be damaged.
When working with water or crossing sand banks, first check
the subsoil and depth and flow rate of the water. Ensure that
the permitted water depth will not be exceeded.
In the driver's cab
Do not leave any tools or spare parts lying around in the cab.
These may actuate, damage, or block control levers, pedals,
or switches. Store these parts in the tool box.
Keep the cab floor, the control elements, the tread steps, and
the handrails free of oil, grease, and excessive dirt.
Immediately repair any damage. Tighten loose screw
connections.
Check the safety belt, the belt buckle, and the fastening
elements for damage and wear. Replace worn or damaged
parts.
