Safety Awareness - 13

Emergency Procedures

• Complete the equipment checklist located at www.ditchwitch.com/safe.

Emergency Procedures 

Before operating any equipment, review emergency procedures and check that all safety precautions 

have been taken.

  

Electric Strike Description

 

When working near electric cables, remember the following:

• Electricity follows all paths to ground, not just path of least resistance.
• Pipes, hoses, and cables will conduct electricity back to all equipment.
• Low voltage current can injure or kill. Many work-related electrocutions result from contact with less 

than 440 volts.

Most electric strikes are not noticeable, but indications of a strike include:

• power outage
• smoke
• explosion
• popping noises
• arcing electricity

If any of these occur, assume an electric strike has occurred.

 

Underground utilities. Contact can cause death or 

serious injury. Locate and verify underground utilities before digging or 

drilling.

EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN: 

Shut off machine or press remote engine stop button (if equipped).
