2.10 Set Up a Work Zone
The safest place for the operator is in the operator’s seat.
Always operate the skid digger from the operator’s seat.
Always be aware of the position of the boom and material being
handled.
Be aware of bystanders and workers when moving the skid
steer. Make sure they are in the safe zone where they cannot be
injured.
Always be aware of hazards such as:
• Underground utilities.
• Tree roots.
• Structures close to the excavation site.
• Excavating on a slope.
Modify the work zone to account for overhead hazards, such
as:
• Telephone lines.
• Tree branches.
• Roof overhang.
• Wash lines, ropes, or cables.
• Power lines—maintain a 20 ft (6 m) distance.
Electrocution can occur without direct contact (arcing).
2.10.1 Safe Zone
For the safety of others, during operation set up a Work Zone
around the area where hazards are present. Mark the area with
safety cones. The area outside of the work zone is considered a
designated
Safe Zone for other workers or bystanders.
Always know where all workers and bystanders are when
operating the skid digger. Have them stay outside of the work
zone in the designated
Safe Zone . They should only enter the
work zone when:
• The person has made eye contact with and signaled the
skid digger operator.
• The skid digger is in the transport position or the bucket is
resting on the ground.
• The skid steer engine is turned off.
2.10.2 Work Zone
Establish a work zone perimeter that is at least 10 ft (3 m) larger
than the space required for the skid steer motion, skid digger
motion, excavation, and dirt pile.
While using the skid digger, always be aware of bystanders in
the area. The skid steer and boom can create a collision hazard
to workers or bystanders. Also, injury may occur from heavy
material falling or dropping from the bucket.
