Maintain Load Limit

Operators must never be forced to carry a heavier load than what the machine is capable of, to speed up the construction process. Doing this will either cause damage to the equipment, or overturn the equipment due to the excess weight, putting lives in danger. Operators must be educated about the varying load limits depending on brand, size and engine power. Some of the safety measures are ensuring that outriggers are in place while lifting material or equipment as well as knowing the payload and lift capacity of the machine. Operators must also ensure that each lifted load is secured correctly using rigging attachments. Finally, make sure that loading and unloading area is clear and other team members are at a safe distance.
