Restricted Visibility
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
veh
icle movemen
t
• Workers that direct traffic to move when it is safe
• Restricted areas
• Operator training
• Warning symbols or warning signs on machines or
on veh
icles
• A system of communication
• Communication between workers and operators
prior to
approaching the machine
Modifications of the machine configuration by the
user that res
ult in a restriction of visibility shall be
evaluated.
Restricted Visibility
(If Equipped)
The size and the configuration of this machine may
result in areas that cannot be seen when the
operator is seated. Illustration 23 provides an
approximate visual indication of areas of significant
r
estricted visibility
. Illustration 23 indicates restricted
visibility areas at ground level inside a radius of 12 m
(40
ft
) from the operator on a machine without the
use of optional visual aids. This illustration does not
provide areas of restricted visibility for distances
outside a radius of 12 m (40 ft).
This machine may be equipped with optional visual
aids
that may provide
visibility to some areas with
restricted visibility. Refer to this Operation and
Maintenance Manual, “Mirror” for more information
on additional visibility. If your machine is equipped
with cameras, refer to this Operation and
Maintenance Manual, “Camera” for more information
on additional visibility. For areas that are not covered
by the optional visual aids, the job site organization
must be utilized to minimize hazards of this
restricted visibility. See Operation and Maintenance
Manual, “Visibility Information” for more information
regarding job site organization.
