Work Site Before starting operations, thoroughly check work area for any hazards, such as underground utility lines, overhead electrical lines, unstable ground, excessive slopes, etc. Before starting engine and moving machine, make sure that no one is underneath machine, around machine, or on machine. Know width and length of your machine and work equipment to maintain proper clearance when you operate machine or work equipment near fences or near boundary obstacles. FG018593 Know appropriate work site hand signals and personnel that are authorized to give hand signals. Follow hand signals from only one person.
Figure 23 If you need to operate on a street, protect pedestrians and cars by designating a person for work site traffic duty or by erecting fences and posting "No Entry" signs around work site. Erect barricades or fences, post "No Entry" signs, and take other steps to prevent people from coming close to or entering work site. If people come too close to a moving machine, they may be struck or caught by machine, and this can result in death or serious injury. DX225LC-3 Safety 1-32 DANG ER try n E o N
