Visibility Information
Before starting the machine, the operator shall
perform a walk-around inspection in order to ensure
that there are no hazards around the machine.
While the machine is in operation, the operator
sh
ould c
onstantly survey the area around the
machine. The operator needs to identify potential
hazards as a hazard becomes visible around the
machine.
Your machine may be equipped with mirrors or other
v
isual a
ids. An example of a visual aid is Closed
Circuit Television (CCTV). The operator should
ensure that the visual aids are in proper working
condition and that the visual aids are clean. Adjust
the visual aids for the best visibility of all areas
around the machine.
It may not be possible to pr
ovide 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.
