Investigate the configuration and ground conditions of
the job site beforehand to prevent the machine from
falling and to prevent the ground, stockpiles, or banks
from collapsing.
Make a work plan. Use machines appropriate to the work
and job site.
Reinforce ground, edges, and road shoulders as
necessary. Keep the machine well back from the edges of
excavations and road shoulders.
When working on an incline or on a road shoulder,
employ a signal person as required.
Confirm that your machine is equipped with a FOPS cab
before working in areas where the possibility of falling
stones or debris exist.
When the ground footing is weak, reinforce the ground
before starting work.
When working on frozen ground, be extremely alert. As
ambient temperatures rise, the ground footing becomes
loose and slippery.
Beware of the possibility of fire when operating the
machine near flammable objects such as dry grass.
