Safe Operation Needs a Qualified Operator
AVOID SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH
Operators must receive instructions before
operating the machine. Untrained operators can
cause serious injury or death. For an operator
to be qualified, he or she must not use drugs
or alcoholic drinks which impair alertness or
coordination while working. An operator who
is taking prescription drugs must get medical
advice to determine if he or she can safely
operate a machine and the equipment.
Operator Training
• Check the rules and regulations at your
location. The rules may include an employer’s
work safety requirements. Regulations may
apply to local driving requirements or use
of a Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem.
Regulations may identify a hazard such as a
utility line.
• The new operator must start in an area without
bystanders and use all the controls until he or
she can operate the machine safely under all
conditions of the work area.
