Reducing Construction Site Hazards Involving Large Construction Equipment
Posted on September 14, 2011 by Ronald Todd
Large construction equipment can be construction site hazards and can cause construction fatalities. For example, a worker was operating a bulldozer on a sloped excavation. The bulldozer slide down the excavation and flipped over. The operator was pinned under the roll bars.
To prevent these types of workplace injuries, contractors need to:
- Instruct workers to recognize and avoid unsafe conditions associated with their work (29 CFR 1926.21(b)(2)).
- Ensure that workers are provided with and are using appropriate personal protective equipment - such as seat belts - whenever it is necessary to reduce a hazard (29 CFR 1926.28(a)).
