OPERATOR CARE
Operators who work on or operate mobile equipment
shall be responsible for:
1. Using all applicable safety features provided on the
equipment.
2. Using the equipment only after being properly
instructed and trained by the owner.
3. Reporting any damage to or malfunction of the
equipment by submitting a report to the owner
or responsible authority, either when the damage
occurs or as soon thereafter as is practical. The
operator should also document such reports.
4. Ensuring the work area is clear of all persons
during all phases of the operation prior to operating
the equipment.
5. Ensuring the work area has sufficient clearance
on sides and overhead. Examples include: roof or
ceiling, side walls, power lines, etc. for the hoist,
truck, and container throughout all phases of
operation.
6. Ensuring that all persons are clear of the tailgate
and any container contents that may fall out before
the tailgate is opened. The operator shall warn all
persons not to cross under a raised container or an
open tailgate.
7. Operating all equipment in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
8. Riding only in the cab and not on any other part of
the mobile equipment. The only allowable place to
ride on the equipment when it is in motion is in the
cab of the truck.
9. Operating the equipment with all safety devices
functional. Never bypass or remove safety devices
which have been installed on the equipment. Never
operate the equipment unless these devices are
fully functional.
10. Avoid distractions such as texting, and phone calls
while operating equipment.
11. Using container securement devices.
12. Operating the equipment only when physically and
mentally fit to do so. Do not operate the equipment
if work ability is impaired by fatigue, illness, or
other causes.
13. Operating the equipment only when it is in proper
working condition. Never operate equipment that
is in need of repair, regardless of how slight the
repair appears to be.
14. Following the specifications of the compactor
manufacturer when coupling a container back to a
compactor.
The operator must be alert to all possible hazardous
situations and conditions. This list is not exhaustive
and provides guidelines only. Each installation has
unique care requirements. Use common sense. For
example, if fluids are leaking, do not operate the
equipment.
Use this hoist only with a container that has specifications
that match the hoist specifications (i.e., proper style
hookup, spacing between long sills, etc.). Operation in a
manner other than specified and/or with equipment that
is not compatible with the hoist could result in severe
injury or death to the operator and surrounding persons
and/or damage to the truck, hoist, or other equipment.
