3.65 Work area assessment and preparation
Examining the site
The driver must make himself familiar with the site before starting work.
He must know:
• whether there are any underground pipe lines (gas, water etc.) or electric cables in the
work area. If this is the case, measures must be taken to ensure safety – together with
the operator of the supply lines.
• whether the ground is stable enough for driving and working on. Special attention must
be paid to the edges of slopes and pits, to undermined sections of the site etc.
• whether the visibility is sufficient. In case of poor visibility (for example if the supply
lines cannot be seen by the driver), always work with a second person giving signals
that have been agreed upon beforehand.
Preparing the ground
The faster and safer the machine and transport vehicles can move on the work site, the
higher safety and profitability during work. To this effect, prepare the work area as follows
before starting work:
• If possible, remove large obstacles from the work area.
• Level out thrown-up and very uneven ground.
