Published by SALUSA 360 walk-around inspection is a crucial safety procedure to ensure that there are no hazards around heavy machinery before operation. This involves a thorough visual check of the entire machine and its surroundings. Here are the key steps and considerations for conducting a 360 walk-around:
- Check for Hazards: Before starting the machine, perform a walk-around inspection to ensure there are no hazards around the machine. This includes checking for any obstacles, personnel, or other equipment that might be in the vicinity [1].
- Inspect Visual Aids: Ensure that any visual aids, such as Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) and mirrors, are in proper working condition and clean. Adjust them as necessary to ensure maximum visibility [2].
- Survey the Area: While the machine is in operation, constantly survey the area around the machine to identify potential hazards as they become visible [1].
- Job Site Organization: Implement appropriate job site organization to minimize hazards caused by restricted visibility. This includes safety instructions, controlled patterns of machine and vehicle movement, and communication systems between workers and operators [2].
- Visibility Aids: If equipped, ensure that systems like the Work Area Vision System and Cat Detect Object Detection are adjusted according to the operation and maintenance manual for your machine [2].
By following these steps, you can help ensure a safer working environment and reduce the risk of accidents or injuries related to machine operation.
