4. SAFETY
4.1 GENERAL SAFETY
All mechanical equipment can be hazardous if operated without due care or correct
maintenance. Most accidents involving machine operation and maintenance are
caused by failure to observe basic safety rules or precautions. An accident can often
be avoided by recognizing potentially hazardous situations before an accident
occurs.
Because it is impossible to anticipate every possible circumstance that might
involve a potential hazard, the warnings in this guide and on the machine are not all
inclusive. If a procedure, tool, working method or operating technique not
specifically recommended by manufacturer is used, you must satisfy yourself that
it is safe for you and others. You should also ensure that the product will not be
damaged or made unsafe by the method of operation or maintenance procedures you
choose.
Safety is not just a matter of responding to the warnings. All the time you are
working with your attachment you must pay attention to what hazards there might
be and how to avoid them. Do not work with the product until you are sure that you
control it. Do not start any job until you are sure that you and those around you will
be safe.
Warning! Read the following warning messages carefully. They tell you of
different hazards and how to avoid them. If proper precautions are not taken
you or others could be seriously injured.

Bad communications can cause accidents. Keep people around you informed of
what you will be doing. If you will be working with other people make sure they
understand any hand signals you will be using.
Work sites can be noisy. Do not rely only on spoken commands.
WORK SITE
Work sites can be hazardous. Inspect the site before working on it.
Check for potholes, weak ground, hidden rocks etc. Check for utilities (electric
cables, gas and water pipes etc.). Mark the positions of underground cables and
pipes if you will be breaking the ground.
Poor visibility can cause accidents and damage. Make sure that visibility and
lighting of the working area are adequate.
BANKS AND TRENCHES
Banked material and trenches can collapse. Do not work too close to banks and
trenches where there is a danger of collapse.
SAFETY BARRIERS

AIRBORNE POLLUTANTS
The related safety label on the hammer and the text on the label are shown below.
"DUST HAZARD
Breathing dust will cause death or severe injury.
Always wear approved respirator."

Operation - Page 15COPYRIGHT © 2013 SANDVIK MINING AND CONSTRUCTION OY
Safety455
Airborne pollutants are microscopic particles, which will damage your health, when
inhaled. Aiborne pollutants on construction sites can be e.g. silica dust, oil fumes or
diesel exhaust particles, visible or invisible. Especially in demolition sites, there
may be other dangerous substances, such as e.g. asbestos or lead paints or other
chemical substances.
The effect of airborne pollutants may be immediate if the substance is poisonous.
The main danger with airborne pollutants comes from long term exposure, where
particles are inhaled but not removed from the lungs. The disease is called e.g.
silicosis, asbestosis or other and will result in death or serious injury.
To protect yourself from airborne pollutants, always keep excavator doors and
windows closed during operation. Excavators with pressurized cabins should be
utilized in hammer operation. Proper maintenance of fresh air filters of the
excavator is essential. Where pressurized cabins are not available, proper respirators
must be utilized.
Stop working, when bystanders are in the area of airborne pollutants and make sure
they have proper respirators. Respirators are as important for bystanders as hard
hats.Respirators for both operator and bystanders must be approved by the
respirator manufacturer for the application in question. It is essential that the
respirators protect from the tiny dust particles which cause silicosis and which may
cause other serious lung diseases. You should not use the equipment until you are
sure the respirators are working properly. This means the respirators must be
checked to make sure that it is clean, that its filter has been changed, and to
otherwise make sure the respirator will protect in the way it is meant to.
Always make sure dust has been cleaned off your boots and clothes when you leave
your shift. The smallest particles of dust are the most harmful. They may be so fine
that you can not see them. Remember, you MUST protect yourself and bystanders
from the danger of breathing or inhaling dust.
Always follow local laws and regulations for airborne pollutants in the working
environment.
