Ground hazards & possible risk controls include:
• Sloping ground – Never ignore tilt alarms & always know your machines capacities and limitation.
• Underground services – check for signage or site plans, use locators or pot holing, contact Dial before you dig (1100 or 1100.com.au)
• Soft or unsupported– talk to a qualified engineer to get an engineer’s report. Relocate to better ground, use more packing (steel plates, timber, or plastic pads to spread the weight over a larger area.
• Uneven– drive equipment with booms lowered and retracted and at slow speeds
• Trenches – use the 1m away for every 1m deep rule. Further if required • Slippery – clean up spills, use alternate routes
• Obstacles – remove or find alternate routes
