Organising a Safe Work Area

Relying on spotters while operating heavy machinery is a critical step that will aid in a multitude of situations. They are necessary if one is operating around fellow workers, backing up or loading onto a trailer, and spotters must be trained in correct hand signals. Additionally, as part of an operator’s daily duties, topping up fuel levels on each machine must be conducted in a controlled environment.

Workers should also be given enough information about terrain, underground utilities, and other impediments.
