FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND FIRST AID KIT As a precaution if any injury or fire should occur, always do the following. Be sure that fire extinguishers have been provided and read the labels to ensure that you know now to use them. It is recommended that an appropriately sized (2.27 kg [5 lb] or larger) multipurpose "A/B/C" fire extinguisher be mounted in the cab. Check and service the fire extinguisher at regular intervals and make sure that all work site crew members are adequately trained in its use. HDO1009L Figure 9 Provide a first aid kit in the storage compartment and keep another at the work site. Check the kit periodically and make any additions if necessary.
Know what to do in case of injury from fire. Keep emergency numbers for doctor, ambulance service, hospital and fire department near your telephone. If the machine catches fire, it may lead to serious personal injury or death. If a fire occurs during operation, escape from the machine as follows; Turn the starter switch "OFF" and shut down engine. If there is time, use the fire extinguisher to extinguish as much of the fire as possible. Use the handrails and steps to escape from the machine. The above is the basic method for escaping from the machine, but changing the method may be necessary according to the conditions, so carry out practice drills at the work site.
PROTECTION FROM FALLING OR FLYING OBJECTS On work sites where there is danger that falling objects or flying objects may hit the operator's cab select a guard to match the operating conditions to protect the operator. Working in mines, tunnels, deep pits or on loose or wet surfaces could produce danger of falling rock or hazardous flying objects. Additional protection for the operator's cab could be required in the form of a FOPS (Falling Object Protective Structure) or window guards.
