It may not be possible to provide direct visibility to all areas around
the machine. To achieve acceptable visibility, additional devices,
such as warning systems, mirrors and closed-circuit television
cameras (CCTV) may be used.

Some parts of the basic machine may restrict visibility, for
example the cab's pillars, frames, exhaust pipe, engine hood, as
well as optional equipment such as buckets, pallet forks,
grapples, and so on. The load that is handled with these
attachments may also restrict visibility.
In order to minimize hazards that may be caused by restricted
visibility, rules or procedures shall be established by the job site
management.
For example:
Ensure that operators and job site workers have received
thorough safety instructions.
Control the traffic patterns for the machine and other vehicles.
Avoid travelling in reverse if possible.
Restrict the machine’s operation area.
Use a signalman to help the operator. Use signals according
to the signal diagram, see
235
.
Provide two-way communication equipment if necessary.
Ensure that job site workers communicate with the operator
before approaching the machine.
Use warning signs.
