1. Assess the operator
You need to assess whether the person that will be operating the machinery is familiar enough with it. Each manufacturer’s machinery will be slightly different in operation. Have a discussion with whoever will be operating the machine before they start, and make sure they’re comfortable with the contents in the operator manual.
2. Survey the work site
It’s necessary to survey and analyse the conditions that the machine will be operating in. If an excavator needs to work on a slope or soft ground, for example, it could be at risk of slipping or sliding. If the conditions are difficult, consider how to minimise the risk while operating the machine.
3. Assign a supervisor
Make sure there’s a safety person around at all times. Never work with machines by yourself. No matter how comfortable or confident you are in the machine, if an accident does happen, you’re going to want to have someone around that can immediately respond.
4. Keep good driving habits
Many new drivers have a bad habit. In order to pursue a broader vision, they often lift the arm of the excavator high. Such driving will make the center of gravity of the excavator lean forward, and if they are not careful, they will be in danger of tipping forward.
