5.4 General Safety Summary
The safe and effective use of any heavy con-
struction equipment depends upon proper
installation, operation, maintenance and
repair. Operational safety must encompass
all of these factors. This section includes
minimum safety policies the Street Ham-
mer owner shall establish for all Street
Hammer installations. The operational
safety program must be tailored by the
Street Hammer owner to the specific site
and application. Such a program will result
in increased equipment life and perfor-
mance and reduced downtime. Most im-
portantly, it will reduce the risk of
equipment damage and personnel injuries.
