Classifying The Jobsite - Toro Maxi Sneaker 370 Operator's Manual

Classifying the Jobsite

Survey the jobsite and classify the hazards that may be present.
Jobsites are classified according to the underground hazards present, not by the line
being installed. A jobsite may have more than one classification.
If you are working
within 3 m (10 ft) of a buried electric line
within 3 m (10 ft) of a natural gas line
in concrete, sand, or granite which is capable of
producing crystalline silica dust
within 3 m (10 ft) of any other hazard
Classify the jobsite as electric if the jobsite is in question or if the possibility of unmarked
electric utilities exists.
Once classified, take precautions appropriate for the jobsite. Follow the US Department of
Labor regulations on excavating and trenching (Part 1926, Subpart P) and other similar
regulations.
