    Toolbox Talk:

    Working around Heavy Equipment


    Background
    75% of construction related struck by and run over fatalities involve heavy equipment. The use of such
    equipment is essential on the majority of O&G projects.

    The following apparatus are commonly used on O&G job sites:


    Tri-axle dump trucks
    Cranes
    Pay loaders
    Bull dozers
    Excavators
    Skid steers
    Graders
    Aerial lifts
    Scissor lifts
    Forklifts
    Pavers
    Milling machines

    Who This Topic Applies To


    Working in the presence of Heavy Equipment applies to all O&G employees, contractors and visitors. This can
    even apply to pedestrians traveling on the road. The hazards do not go away when the equipment leaves the
    project or facility.

    Safety Tips
    Safely working in the area of any heavy equipment requires the shared responsibility of both the equipment
    operator and their coworkers. As with all O&G ventures, each project must have a prepared and wellarticulated safety plan. This preparation is both a written document and a shared dialogue with all O&G
    employees and subcontractors at the beginning of each project as well as each shift.
    Consideration should be given to issues related to working around heavy equipment:

    Inspection of the equipment prior to operation to ensure that all lights and audible alarms are working
    properly.

    Toolbox Talk Topic, Rev. 05/01/2015

    A defined route and clear visual path for the operator when moving equipment from the point of origin
    to the work site.
    Set up of the equipment at the work area should be stable and have enough space to allow the
    equipment and workers to perform the planed tasks.
    Use 3 point mounting and dismounting technique off of heavy equipment - NEVER JUMP OFF HEAVY
    EQUIPMENT.
    Establish a danger zone, that is; the working area where contact could result in personal injury or
    damage during operations.
    Predefined hand signals or use of two way radios between the operator and person in charge of the
    work crew to accomplish any and all movement.
    Maintain a clear line of site between the operator and workers. Blind spots are common. If you cant
    see the operator, they cant see you.
    Use a spotter when heavy equipment is in motion. This requires communication between the operator
    and workers to maintain safe movement.
    Always try to walk on the driver side of equipment as the passenger side has a larger blind spot.
    Workers should keep a safe distance from all sides of the heavy equipment while it is in use.
    Be aware of the swing radius on certain equipment and, if possible, cordon off the area with barriers or
    caution tape.
    Wear high visibility clothing and Personal Protective Equipment
    Never work under a suspended or overhead load
    Always stay alert

    Many times when workers think they can be seen by the operators of heavy equipment they cant. You may be
    in a blind spot or the operator has been driving is a designated travel path for a period of time and the only thing
    that has changed is you!!!!! Make eye contact with operators

    What To Do If You Spot Safety Issues
    Notify the operator immediately. Advise your coworkers and supervisor and help take corrective action.

    If you have not been properly trained on this topic, do not have the proper safety
    equipment available for use or you are not comfortable with what you are being asked to
    do, DO NOT PROCEED until the expected safety standards have been met.
    If you have questions or concerns, please contact O&Gs Safety Department. You may
    also contact the O&G Safety Hotline anonymously by calling (860) 496-4866.
