Avoid Injury Caused by High Tension Electric
Shock
• Never attempt to open any electrical component covers
displaying a decal with the words "HIGH VOLTAGE. " You may
receive an electric shock, possibly resulting in personal
injury or death.
• Never attempt to touch or grab any high tension electrical
components or the power cable with wet hands. You may
receive an electric shock, possibly resulting in personal
injury or death.
Investigate Job Site Beforehand
• When working on a road shoulder, the machine could tip
over, possibly resulting in serious injury or death.
• Investigate the configuration and ground conditions of
the job site beforehand to prevent the machine from
falling and to prevent the ground, stockpiles, or banks
from collapsing.
• Make a work plan. Use machines appropriate to the work
and job site.
• Reinforce ground, edges, and road shoulders as
necessary. Keep the machine well back from the edges of
excavations and road shoulders.
• When working on an incline or on a road shoulder,
employ a signal person as required.
• When the footing is weak, reinforce the ground before
starting work.
• When working on frozen ground, be extremely alert. As
ambient temperatures rise, footing becomes loose and
slippery.
• Beware the possibility of fire when operating the machine
near flammable objects such as dry grass.
• Driver should try to travel the road once to understand
potential danger.
Provide Signals for Jobs Involving Multiple
Machines
• For jobs involving multiple machines, provide signals
commonly known by all personnel involved. Also, appoint
a signal person to coordinate the job site. Make sure that all
personnel obey the signal person's directions.
