Section 2 • SAFETY
This guideline is intended to assist owners/
employers to ensure equipment is serviced and
operated in a safe manner. Each job site may
have additional situations and conditions which
need consideration.
Monitor the operators to be sure they observe
and practice safety procedures and operate the
support equipment as outlined in this manual.
Establish a regular inspection program which
includes malfunction reports, inspection, and
service records. This inspection should cover the
machine condition, adjustment, and ensure all
safeguards are in place and functional.
Make sure that any malfunction or breakdown
that will affect the safe operation of the equip-
ment is properly corrected or repaired before
returning machine to service.
The employer shall provide training and instruc-
tion in safe methods of work before assigning
workers to operate, service, or repair the equip-
ment. A record of training dates, employee
names, and level of training should be main-
tained. Only persons literate and understanding
the English language should be considered to
operate the

dure which complies with part 1910.147 of Title

ment to ensure they are not bypassed or dis-
abled. Operation of the equipment will not be

priate protection requirements for the workers.
