■Always make sure that the pump's trailer is placed on solid level ground so that it cannot slide or shift around, endangering workers. Place blocks under the trailer's bumper to make it level (prevents tipping), and use a chocked block underneath the wheels to prevents rolling. Also keep the immediate area free of bystanders.
