Before you start the machine, perform a
While the machine is in operation, constantly survey the area around the machine in order to identify potential hazards as hazards become visible around the machine.
Your machine may be equipped with visual aids. Some examples of visual aids are Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) and mirrors. Before operating the machine, ensure that the visual aids are in proper working condition and that the visual aids are clean. Adjust the visual aids using the procedures that are located in this Operation and Maintenance Manual. If equipped, the Work Area Vision System shall be adjusted according to Operation and Maintenance Manual, SEBU8157, “Work Area Vision System”.
It may not be possible to provide direct visibility on large machines to all areas around the machine. Appropriate job site organization is required in order to minimize hazards that are caused by restricted visibility. Job site organization is a collection of rules and procedures that coordinates machines and people that work together in the same area. Examples of job site organization include the following:
•Safety instructions
•Controlled patterns of machine movement and vehicle movement
•Workers that direct traffic to move when it is safe
•Restricted areas
•Operator training
•Warning symbols or warning signs on machines or on vehicles
•A system of communication
•Communication between workers and operators prior to approaching the machine
Modifications of the machine configuration by the user that result in a restriction of visibility shall be evaluated.
The size and the configuration of this machine may result in areas that can not be seen when the operator is seated. Illustration 30 provides an approximate visual indication of areas of significant restricted visibility. Illustration 30 indicates restricted visibility areas at ground level inside a radius of 12.00 m
(40 ft) from the operator on a machine without the use of optional visual aids. This illustration does not provide areas of restricted visibility for distances outside a radius of 12.00 m (40 ft).
This machine may be equipped with optional visual aids that may provide visibility to some of the restricted visibility areas. Refer to this Operation and Maintenance Manual, “Mirror” for more information on additional visibility. If your machine is equipped with cameras, refer to this Operation and Maintenance Manual, “Camera” for more information on additional visibility. For areas that are not covered by the optional visual aids, the job site organization must be utilized to minimize hazards of this restricted visibility. For more information regarding job site organization refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, “Visibility Information”.
