Jobsite Preparation
A successful job begins before working. The first step in planning is reviewing information already available about the job
and jobsite.
Reviewing the Job Plan
-
Review the blueprints or other plans. Check for information about existing or planned structures, elevations, or proposed
work that may be taking place at the same time.
Selecting the Start and End Points
-
Select an end to use as a starting point. Consider the following when selecting a starting point:
- Always park the equipment on a level site. Consider how the slope will affect setup and operation. Assess the risks on each
slope to determine if factors affecting risks create an unsafe condition for working.
- Check that the starting and ending points allow enough space for working.
- Consider how shade, wind, fumes, and other site features will affect operator comfort.
Identifying Hazards
-
Inspect the jobsite before transporting equipment; check for the following:
- Overall grade or slope
- Changes in elevation such as hills or open trenches
- Obstacles such as buildings, railroad crossings, or streams
- Signs of utilities
- “Buried utility” notices
- Gas or water meters
- Drop boxes
- Manhole covers
- Utility facilities without overhead lines
- Junction boxes
- Light poles
- Sunken ground
- Traffic
- Access
- Soil type and condition
- Loose material such as fencing or cable
Locating Utilities
-
Notify One-Call Services; mark the proposed path with white paint and have the underground utilities located before working.
- In the US or Canada, call 811 (US) or 888-258-0808 (US and Canada). Also contact any local utilities that do not participate
in One-Call service.
- In countries that do not have a One-Call service, contact all local utility companies to have underground utilities located.
-
Verify underground utilities; have an experienced locating equipment operator sweep the area within 6 m (20 ft) to each side
of the proposed excavation to verify previously marked line and cable locations. Mark the location of all buried utilities
and obstructions.
-
Locate overhead lines; note the location and height of all overhead lines in the jobsite and ensure that the equipment maintains
a proper distance from live lines.
Classifying the Jobsite
-
Survey the jobsite and classify the hazards that may be present.
Jobsites are classified according to the underground hazards present, not by the line being installed. A jobsite may have
more than one classification.
|
within 3 m (10 ft) of a buried electric line
|
Electric
|
|
within 3 m (10 ft) of a natural gas line
|
Natural gas
|
|
in concrete, sand, or granite which is capable of producing crystalline silica dust
|
Crystalline silica dust
|
|
within 3 m (10 ft) of any other hazard
|
Other
|
Classify the jobsite as electric if the jobsite is in question or if the possibility of unmarked electric utilities exists.
Once classified, take precautions appropriate for the jobsite. Follow the US Department of Labor regulations on excavating
and trenching (Part 1926, Subpart P) and other similar regulations.
Classified Jobsite Precautions
Electric Precautions
- Expose the line by careful hand digging or soft excavation.
- Have the service shut down while work is in progress.
- Have the electrical company test the lines before returning them to service.
Natural Gas Precautions
Position equipment upwind from the gas lines and use one or more of these methods:
- Expose the line by careful hand digging or soft excavation.
- Have the service shut down while work is in progress.
- Have the gas company test the lines before returning them to service.
Crystalline Dust Precautions
Crystalline silica dust is a naturally occurring substance found in soil, sand, concrete, granite, and quartz. To reduce exposure
when cutting, drilling, or working these materials:
- Use a water spray or other means to control the dust.
- Refer to the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) guidelines or other applicable regulating guidelines
for appropriate breathing protection or dust control methods.
Other Precautions
To safely avoid other underground hazards at each site, use different methods to determine the appropriate safety precautions.
Clear objects such as landscaping fabric, cable, and wire from the work area. These objects may be underground or partially
buried.
Arranging for Traffic Control
-
Keep the vehicle and pedestrian traffic away from the equipment. Evaluate the jobsite and allow an appropriate buffer zone
around the equipment. If the jobsite is near a road or other traffic area, contact the local authorities about safety procedures
and regulations.
Operator Preparation
Follow these guidelines before operating any jobsite equipment:
- Complete proper training and read the Operator’s Manual before using equipment.
- Plan for emergency services. Have the telephone numbers for local emergency and medical facilities on hand. Check that you
will have access to a telephone.
- Review jobsite hazards, safety and emergency procedures, and individual responsibilities with all personnel before work begins.
Safety Data Sheets (SDS) are available at www.Toro.com.
- Use equipment carefully. Stop operation and investigate anything that does not look or feel right.
Equipment Preparation
Installing Counterweights
-
Install counterweights as needed for attachments.
Mounting the Fire Extinguisher
-
