Here are definitive safety tips and incident management techniques to follow when using heavy machinery:
- Communication between operators
Operators working at different areas of the site need to be in constant communication to best manage the heavy machinery.
- Wearing seatbelts when driving the machinery
In the event that a rollover occurs, wearing a seatbelt can assist in keeping the operator in place in the vehicle.
- Loading and unloading equipment
The process of loading and unloading equipment should be done on level ground to reduce the risk of rollover.
- Mounting and dismantling components
By maintaining a 3 point contact stance when removing components should be done by having two hands and one foot stable or both feet stable and one hand operating. This will ensure that the operator is kept relatively stable when dismantling or mounting objects.
