SECTION 02 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 5
Define together which precautions should be taken
to guarantee work safety.
Decrease work speed. Reaction time could be too
slow and distance evaluation wrong.
When working near gas mains or other public utili-
ties installations, appoint a person in charge of sig-
nalling duties. This person will have the
responsibility of observing the machine, any part of
it and/or the load approaching the electric line from
a better standpoint with respect to the Operator’s
position. This signal-man shall directly communi-
cate with the Operator and the Operator must pay
special attention to any signals supplied.
The gas distributing Company, if previously ad-
vised and involved in the work, as well as machine
Operator, Owner and/or any natural person or le-
gal entity having rent or leased the machine or be-
ing responsible at the time by contract or by law,
are liable for the adoption of the necessary precau-
tions.
Working near electric lines can be very dangerous,
therefore some special precautions must be ob-
served. Within this Manual, “work near electric lines”
means when the attachment or load raised by the
excavator (in any position) may reach the minimum
safety distance established by local or international
Safety Regulations.
To work without risks, keep maximum possible dis-
tance from electric lines and never trespass mini-
mum safety distance.
Ensure that local or national safety regulations con-
cerning work near electric lines are observed.
Prior to beginning the work near electric lines:
Contact the Company Owner of the electric lines or
its nearest branch before starting the work. Look
up the in the telephone directory.
Define together with the Company representative
which precautions should be taken to guarantee
work safety.
All electric lines should be considered as operative
live lines even though it might be well known that
the line in question is out of work and visibly con-
nected to the ground.
The Electric Power Company, if previously advised
and involved in the work, as well as machine Oper-
ator, Owner and/or any natural person or legal en-
tity having rent or leased the machine or being
responsible at the time by contract or by law, are
liable for the adoption of the necessary precau-
tions.
Decrease work speed. Reaction time could be too
slow and distance evaluation wrong.
Warn all ground personnel to keep clear of the ma-
chine and/or load at all times. If the load has to be
guided down for laying, consult the Electric Power
Company to know which precautions should be
taken.
Appoint a person in charge to signal instructions.
This person will have the responsibility of observ-
ing the machine, any part of it and/or the load ap-
proaching the electric line from a better standpoint
with respect to the Operator’s position. This signal-
man shall directly communicate with the Operator
and the Operator must pay special attention to any
signals supplied.
When working in or near pits, in ditches or very high
walls, check that the walls are sufficiently propped
up to avoid cave-in hazards.
Pay the utmost attention when working near over-
hang walls or where landslides may take place.
Make sure that the support surface is strong enough
to prevent landslides.
When digging, there is the risk of cave-ins and land-
slides.
Always check ground conditions and conditions of
the material to be removed. Support everywhere it is
required to prevent possible cave-ins or landslides
when:
When digging near recently formed trenches filled
with filling materials.
When digging in bad ground conditions.
When digging trenches subject to vibration from
railroads, working machines or highway traffic.
