If the operation of machinery requires a license, ensure that you have a valid one [1]. Always be alert and never operate machinery under the influence of drugs or alcohol [1]. Before starting work, confirm all working procedures to prevent accidents [1].
It is also important to understand your task and the potential hazards involved [1]. Conduct a risk assessment with the site manager and confirm that all necessary safety precautions have been taken [1]. Be aware of your working area and look for potential hazards such as soft ground or the possibility of falling rocks [1]. Keep other people away from the machine and attachment during operation [1].
When operating machinery, pay attention to falling materials and flying debris [2]. Install the appropriate guards and keep people a safe distance away from the work area [2]. Check all protective guards, covers, windows, and mirrors before operation [2]. Ensure they are not damaged and are secure [2]. Understand how the protective systems and equipment protect you and others, and never remove them from the machine [2].
Also, stay clear of all rotating and moving parts to avoid entanglement 3, 4, 5. Ensure adequate ventilation when operating the engine, especially in enclosed areas, to avoid carbon monoxide exposure 3, 4, 5. Always follow instructions when connecting, disconnecting, and storing attachments 3, 15, 16.
In case of a failure, stop operating the machine and contact your supervisor and KOBELCO authorized dealer [3]. In an emergency, know how to escape from the cab and where the fire extinguishers and first aid kit are located 14, 20. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including fitted clothing, hard hat, safety shoes, safety glasses, and a reflective vest [4]. Inspect your PPE before use and replace any damaged equipment [4].
When performing maintenance, securely block the machine or any component that may fall 12, 15, 16. Lock the access panel to prevent it from moving and causing injury 12, 15, 16. Prevent falls by keeping steps, handrails, and platforms clean and in good condition 12, 15, 16. Be cautious of high-pressure oil and fuel lines, and always release pressure before inspecting or maintaining them 4, 5, 17. Follow safety guidelines for welding and grinding, and use caution when adjusting track tension 9, 10, 19.
