1 Operating Heavy Equipment Almost every construction site involves some kind of heavy equipment an excavator, a crane, a tractor, a Bobcat, a backhoe, a truck, etc. When you operate heavy equipment, you have a tremendous responsibility for safety yours, and everyone else s on the site. Before you can operate any machinery, you have to know what you re doing. You need real training, not a few onthe-job instructions. Each time you are assigned to a new machine, you need to be trained on that machine. As an operator, you have to watch out for above-ground hazards like power lines, trees, buildings, and excavations, and underground hazards like culverts, buried utilities, basements, and vaults. At the same time, you must be aware of your surroundings and the locations of everyone working near or around your machine. At the start of your shift, inspect the equipment. Do a complete 360-degree walk around. Go through the entire pre-start checklist by the numbers. When you get into the operator s seat, buckle up. Before starting the engine, put all controls in their neutral positions and make sure co-workers are clear. Turn on the ignition, and then go through the post-start checklist. Don t omit any checks; don t assume something is OK just because it was last night when you parked the machine. Be sure to check the steering, brakes, hydraulics, lights, horn, mirrors, and the back-up alarm. If anything is wrong, shut down the machine and get it repaired. Stay safe when you operate heavy equipment: Kick the mud off your boots, and keep three points of contact when climbing the ladder. Avoid distractions, especially cell phones. Stay aware of your surroundings at all times. Make sure there is an exclusion zone in place to keep bystanders out of danger. Make sure all underground utilities and installations are marked. Know the limitations of the machinery. Stay within the manufacturer s capacity ratings. Watch out for co-workers and spotters. You don t want to hit them or put them in a struckby or caught-in-between situation. Always pay attention to where you re going and/or where the boom or load is going. Do not back into work areas without someone clearing the area and providing hand signals. Never leave heavy equipment unattended with the engine running, especially if the machine is on loose material or on an inclined surface. Never allow anyone to ride on the equipment unless they are in seats that have seat belts. SAFETY REMINDER Shut off the engine and let it cool down before you refuel. Don t ever smoke while you are refueling. NOTES: SPECIAL TOPICS /EMPLOYEE SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS/NOTES: MEETING DOCUMENTATION: JOB NAME: MEETING DATE: ATTENDEES: S.A.F.E.

4 Cómo operar equipo pesado (Operating Heavy Equipment) Casi toda obra de construcción cuenta con alguna clase de equipo pesado excavadoras, grúas, tractores, Bobcats, retroexcavadoras, camiones, etc. Al operar equipo pesado, usted tiene una responsabilidad enorme hacia la seguridad la suya y la de todos los demás en la obra. Antes de poder operar cualquier maquinaria, usted tiene que saber lo que está haciendo. Necesita un entrenamiento verdadero, no simplemente unas cuantas instrucciones sobre la marcha. Cada vez que le asignen una nueva máquina, usted necesita estar entrenado en esa máquina en particular. Como operador, usted tiene que tener cuidado con los peligros arriba de usted y en el suelo, como cables de electricidad, árboles, edificios, y excavaciones, así como de los peligros subterráneos como alcantarillas, servicios públicos enterrados, sótanos, y bóvedas. Al mismo tiempo, usted debe estar pendiente de sus alrededores y de la ubicación de todos los que trabajan cerca o alrededor de su máquina. Al inicio de su turno de trabajo, inspeccione el equipo. Camine completamente alrededor de la máquina. Repase número por número todos los puntos en la lista de verificación previa al arranque. Al sentarse en el asiento del operador, póngase su cinturón de seguridad. Antes de encender el motor, coloque todos los controles en neutral y asegúrese que los compañeros de trabajo estén lejos. Encienda el motor, y luego repase los puntos en la lista de verificación después del arranque. No omita ninguna verificación; no asuma que algo está bien simplemente porque lo estuvo anoche cuando estacionó la máquina. Asegúrese de revisar el volante, frenos, hidráulicos, luces, claxon, espejos, y la alarma de retroceso. Si algo está mal, apague la máquina y solicite que se repare. NOTES: SPECIAL TOPICS /EMPLOYEE SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS/NOTES: Manténgase seguro al operar todo equipo pesado: Quite el lodo de sus botas y mantenga los tres puntos de contacto al subir la escalera del equipo. Evite las distracciones, especialmente los teléfonos celulares. Manténgase al pendiente de sus alrededores en todo momento. Asegúrese que haya una zona de exclusión establecida, para mantener al personal ajeno fuera de peligro. Asegúrese que todos los servicios públicos subterráneos e instalaciones estén debidamente marcados. Conozca las limitaciones de la maquinaria. Manténgase dentro de las clasificaciones de capacidad del fabricante. Esté pendiente de los compañeros de trabajo y avisadores/vigilantes. Usted no los quiere golpear o ponerlos en una situación en que sean golpeados o queden prensados. Siempre ponga atención en la dirección hacia donde se dirige y/o hacia donde se dirige el aguilón o la carga. No entre en reversa a las áreas de trabajo sin que alguien despeje el área y proporcione señales manuales. Nunca deje desatendido el equipo pesado con el motor encendido, especialmente si la máquina está sobre material suelto en una superficie inclinada. Nunca deje que alguien viaje encima del equipo a menos que haya asientos con cinturones de seguridad. SAFETY REMINDER Apague el motor y déjelo enfriar antes de reabastecer el combustible. Nunca fume cuando está reabasteciendo. MEETING DOCUMENTATION JOB NAME: MEETING DATE: ATTENDEES: S.A.F.E.
