Know the working area
Before starting operation, know the working
area to ensure safety.
�
Check the topography and ground
condition of the working area, or the
structure of the building when working
indoors, and take the necessary safety
measures in dangerous spots.
�
Note and avoid all hazards and
obstructions
such
as
ditches,
underground lines, trees, cliffs, overhead
electrical wires or areas where there is
danger of a slide.
