Accidents

Only take necessary action so as to reduce the
effect of damage, especially personal injuries.
Avoid action which may make an investigation
more difficult.

management.
Operator safety
The machine must be operational, that is faults
which can cause accidents must be rectified.
Suitable clothing for safe handling and a hard hat
should be worn.
A loose mobile telephone must not be used, as it
may interfere with important electronics. The
mobile telephone must be connected to the
electrical system of the machine and have a fixed
external aerial fitted according to the instructions
of the manufacturer.
Always sit in the operator seat when starting the
engine/machine.
Keep your hands away from areas where there is
a risk of crushing, for example covers, door and
window.
Always use the lap type seat belt or the three-
point belt, if the machine is equipped with this.
Use steps and handholds when entering or
leaving the machine. Use the three-point grip, that
is two hands and one foot or two feet and one
hand. Always face the machine - do not jump!
The door must be closed.
Check that the attachment is properly attached
and locked.
The vibration (shaking) which arises when
operating may be harmful to the operator. Reduce
this by:
- adjusting the seat and tightening the seat belt.
- picking the smoothest operating surface for the
machine (levelling the surface when
necessary).
- adapting your speed.
