Visibility Information
SMCS - 7000
Before you start the machine, perform a walk-around inspection in order to ensure that there are no
hazards around the machine.
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.
