Asbestos Hazard Alert SAFETY Asbestos dust in the air can cause lung cancer, if it is inhaled. There is danger of inhaling asbestos materials when working on job sites handling industrial waste. Always observe the following precautions. Spray water to keep down the dust when cleaning. Do not use compressed air for cleaning. If there is danger that there may be asbestos dust in the air, always operate the machine from an upwind position. All workers should use an approved respirator. Do not allow other people to approach during the operation. Always observe the rules and regulations for the work site and environmental standards.
The machine does not contain asbestos but there is a possibility that imitation parts may contain asbestos. Crush or Pinch-Point Dangers Never stand in or place any part of your body between the movable components, such as the articulating portions of the machine or between the machine’s work equipment. When the machine is operated, the clearance changes. If you get caught in this area, it may lead to serious personal injury or death. Never drive up to anyone standing in front of a solid object or in your path of travel. The brakes could fail or the machine could slide on a slippery surface causing injury or even death.
Precautions for Ventilation Exhaust Gas The engine exhaust gas contains substances that may damage your health or even cause death. Start or operate the engine in a place where there is good ventilation. If the engine or machine must be operated inside a building or underground, where the ventilation is poor, take steps to ensure that the engine exhaust gas is removed and that ample fresh air is brought in.
