Introduction
WARNING
You or others can be killed or seriously
injured if you do unfamiliar operations without first
practising them. Practise away from the worksite
on a clear area. Keep other people away. Do not
perform new operations until you are sure you can
do them safely.
WARNING
There could be dangerous materials
such as asbestos, poisonous chemicals or other
harmful substances buried on the site. If you
uncover any containers or you see any signs of
toxic waste, stop the machine and advise the site
manager immediately.
WARNING
Before you start using the machine,
check with your local gas company if there are
any buried gas pipes on the site.
If there are buried gas pipes we recommend that
you ask the gas company for any specific advice
regarding the way you must work on the site.
Some modern gas pipes cannot be detected by
metal detectors, so it is essential that an accurate
map of buried gas pipes is obtained before any
excavation work commences.
Hand dig trial holes to obtain precise pipe
locations. Any cast iron pipes found must be
assumed to be gas pipes until contrary evidence
is obtained.
Older gas pipes can be damaged by heavy
vehicles driving over the ground above them.
Leaking gas is highly explosive.
If a gas leak is suspected, contact the local gas
company immediately and warn all personnel on
the site. Ban smoking, make sure that all naked
lights are extinguished and switch off any engines
which may be running.
You are strongly advised to make sure that the
safety arrangements on site comply with the local
laws and regulations concerning work near buried
gas pipes.
CAUTION
Before you start using the machine,
check with your local public water supplier if there
are buried pipes and drains on the site. If there
are, obtain a map of their locations and follow the
advice given by the water supplier.
You are strongly advised to make sure that the
safety arrangements on site comply with the local
laws and regulations concerning work near buried
pipes and drains.
CAUTION
If you cut through a fibre optic cable,
Do not look into the end of it, your eyes could be
permanently damaged.
An applicable worksite organisation is required in
order to minimise hazards that are caused by
restricted visibility. The worksite organisation is a
collection of rules and procedures that coordinates
the machines and people that work together in
the same area. Examples of worksite organisation
include:
•
Restricted areas
•
Controlled patterns of machine movement
•
A system of communication.
You and/or your company could be legally liable for
any damage you may cause to public utilities. It is
your responsibility to make sure that you know the
locations of any public utility cables or pipes on the
worksite which could be damaged by your machine.
