Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in serious injury or death.

  • Page 16: Responsibilities

    6 Safety Danger! Never get in the hopper area when the engine is running. Only authorized personnel may do so following a lockout/tagout procedure (see Locking Out and Tagging Out the Vehicle on page 38). Responsibilities Safety is everybody’s responsibility. Both employer and employee must play their part to ensure the safety of the operator, the vehicle, and its immediate surroundings.

  • Page 17: Employee's Responsibilities

    Safety 7 Employee’s Responsibilities It is the responsibility of the employee: To enforce all safety measures to meet the requirements established by the employer. To operate the W ™ only after having received proper instructions and training. ITTKE To perform routine daily unit inspections. To make sure that nobody is near the vehicle before activating any of the controls, and to be prepared to stop at any indication of possible danger.

  • Page 18: General Precautions

    8 Safety Do not hoist the body on uneven ground (if unit is equipped with a service hoist). Do not back up the vehicle when the body is raised (units equipped with a service hoist). Do not drive with the tailgate fully open unless it is to unload refuse at the landfill. Do not use the body safety prop to prop a loaded body (units equipped with a service hoist).
  • Page 19 Safety 9 For any work (including cleaning and inspecting) that has to be done between the body and the chassis, always use the body safety prop (on units equipped with a service hoist). Also, the vehicle must be on level ground. Before opening and closing the tailgate and/or raising the body, make sure that there is no one behind the vehicle.

  • Page 20: Fire

    10 Safety Fire The employer must inform and train all personnel on the measures that must be taken in case of a vehicle and/or loaded body catching fire. Anytime a loaded vehicle is brought inside a garage, fire extinguishers shall be close at hand. The employer must also inform employees of an appropriate place to unload the body near the maintenance facility (preferably away from traffic, surface drains, and ditches).
