CONCERN• Many types of mobile construction heavy equipment are
being used in a construction site doing a wide variety of work. Most of these machines operate within close proximity to persons on foot. With this, many people are exposed to hazards associated with these equipments.
• In short, you have a congested construction site with personnel on foot, and mobile machines working in the same area at the same time!

A VERY SAD STORY
Occupational Safety and Health Center 23
ALL OF THESE THINGS MAY HAPPEN AT YOUR SITE!
Construction Heavy Equipment24
PERSONS AT RISK ASIDE FROM THE OPERATOR
PERSONS PUT AT RISK BY WORKING AROUND, OR BEING NEAR, HEAVY EQUIPMENT WHILE IT IS OPERATING
• NEED TO BE ON SITE ON REGULAR BASIS
– Signal persons, spotters/flaggers– Grade checkers, dump persons– Equipment operators.– Laborers, steel workers and carpenters. – Foremen, supervisors, and other related contractor staff.– Surveyors, layout crews.– Any other crafts and/or trades working on the project, or passing
through the work areas.

PERSONS AT RISK ASIDE FROM THE OPERATOR
PERSONS PUT AT RISK BY WORKING AROUND, OR BEING NEAR, HEAVY EQUIPMENT WHILE IT IS OPERATING.
• NO DIRECT NEED TO BE ON SITE
– Pedestrians, spectators, on-lookers, and the Just Plain Curious!– Children (of all ages)– Job seekers– Joggers, bicycle riders– Scavengers, wood collectors, junk and scrap collectors– Thieves, burglars and law breakers– The media (depending on circumstances).
Construction Heavy Equipment27
HAZARDS PRESENT IN CONSTRUCTION HEAVY EQUIPMENT OPERATION
• Moving parts of the equipment• Uneven terrain• Energized electrical lines• Fall• Dust• Overloaded equipment• Noise • Vibration• Unsecured loads• Improvised attachments• Blind spot.
Construction Heavy Equipment28
BLIND SPOTS
• Small heavy mobile equipment have small blind spots and heavy mobile equipment have large blind spots, both can cause serious injury or death
• The taller and wider the machine, the bigger the blind spot area
• Operators, spotters and workers on foot need to be aware were the blind spots are.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF WORKERS ON FOOT
• Wearing of high visibility vests or equivalent and other appropriate PPE’s.
• Keep a safe distance from heavy equipments• Know the equipment’s blind spots. Never
assume that the equipment operator sees you• Never ride on the steps or drawbars of any
equipment.• Watch out for swinging parts.
Construction Heavy Equipment38
SPOTTER RESPONSIBILITIES
• Wearing of high visibility vests or equivalent and other appropriate PPE’s.
• Spotters should use clearly understood hand signals or traffic control devices , (i.e. signs, etc.)
• Spotters should know operator visibility limitations, always remain visible to the operator and be sure eye contact is made before any signals are given.
Construction Heavy Equipment39
5 BASIC GUIDELINES ON HEAVY EQUIPMENT OPERATION• When using heavy equipment, there are 5 basic
guidelines that the operators must always follow to ensure safety:
1. Know how to properly operate the equipment you are using2. Do not use heavy machinery when you are drowsy,
intoxicated, or taking prescription medication that may affect your performance
3. Use only equipment that is appropriate for the work to be done
4. Inspect your equipment to ensure that it is in good working condition before beginning a job. In addition, ensure that regular inspections and maintenance are conducted as appropriate
5. Do not stress or overload your equipment.

EQUIPMENT OPERATOR RESPONSIBILITIES
• Learn and follow Safe Work Practices!• Review manufacturer’s operating manual• Conduct pre-operational inspection of equipment.• Know how to operate and use safety features on
equipment properly • Allow NO ONE to ride outside the cab for any
reason! • Keep all lights, back-up alarm, seat belts, mirrors,
shields and safety guards in place and in good condition.
Construction Heavy Equipment42
EQUIPMENT OPERATOR RESPONSIBILITIES
• Be aware of people on foot around you and other machines operating in the area.
• Know where your blind spots are and always check the mirror on the blind side.
• Avoid underground utilities and overhead power lines.
• Must understand signals and always obey the spotter.
• Stop! when signaled; when waived at violently; or if you are in doubt
Construction Heavy Equipment43
EQUIPMENT OPERATOR RESPONSIBILITIES
• Maintain a safe operating speed.• Operate within the equipment’s rated capacity.• Report any abnormalities, defects and unsafe
condition. Take Machine “Out of Service”, if it is unsafe to operate
• Do Not Attempt Repairs or Maintenance that You Do Not Understand
• Never get on or off moving equipment. Park in a safe place, apply parking brakes, turn off engine and remove the key before dismounting.
• Turn the engine off before refueling
Construction Heavy Equipment44
EQUIPMENT MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING
• Park in an area that provides maximum protection for operator and passengers and which provides a solid landing during mounting and dismounting.
• When mounting or dismounting, use all steps and all handholds provided.
• Do not jump from equipment!• Use the three-point-contact method.
Construction Heavy Equipment45
KEY ELEMENTS IN HEAVY EQUIPMENT SAFETY PROGRAM• Management Commitment • Employee Involvement• Pre-construction Work-Site Analysis• Hazard Prevention and Controls• Equipment Maintenance• Employee Awareness Training• Periodically Review Policies and Procedures
Construction Heavy Equipment46
MANAGEMENT COMMITMENT
• Promote culture of Safety and Health• Provide fundamental site rules and training to all
persons at risk• Restrict entry onto site of non-essential
personnel. Establish controlled entry points to site• Coordinate operations of various trades working
in the same areas• Efficient and effective procurement system.
Construction Heavy Equipment47
EMPLOYEE INVOLVEMENT
• Attend relevant trainings.• Employees must learn, follow, and obey safety
and other established rules• Discuss safety concerns and issues (e.g.
through Toolbox Safety Meetings or by reporting to the supervisor or safety officer).
Construction Heavy Equipment48
PRE-CONSTRUCTION WORK- SITE ANALYSIS
• Identify potential known hazards (e.g. using JHA.)• Consider office, tool, laydown areas, storage areas • Whenever possible plan your site to allow for drive
through operations, to eliminate backing-up • Reduce the amount of foot traffic allowed on the
jobsite• Establish a traffic control system using traffic lights
or spotters.
Construction Heavy Equipment49
HAZARD PREVENTION AND CONTROLS
• Application of Engineering & Administrative Controls and use of PPE’s.– Install perimeter fencing and enclosures– Install/post signs– Install temporary barricades around
hazards– Spotters (with appropriate PPE) provided
for in-the-blind, backing machines and/or equipment
– Choosing and using the appropriate type of equipment.
Construction Heavy Equipment50
PROPER EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE
• Pre-operational inspection conducted by operator.
• Maintain equipment in safe and proper condition• Maintain safety features such as back-up alarm,
horn, lights, limit switches, overload protection and mirrors intact and good condition
• Cab glass or guard not cracked or broken• Clean machine windows and mirrors
Construction Heavy Equipment51
PROPER EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE
• Periodic preventive maintenance as per manufacturer recommendation
• Prompt repair of any noted deficiencies
• No modifications• Refresh labels, signs,
instructions, charts, etc.
Construction Heavy Equipment52
OPERATOR AUTHORIZATION• Operating a heavy
equipment is a great responsibility. Operation is reserved only for safe and responsible operators
• A policy and procedure on authorization of heavy equipment operators must be in place. The operator must be competent, trained and in good health.

D.O.13 – ON HEAVY EQUIPMENT
• Section 7.2 “The General Constructor must provide for one
(1) Construction Safety and Health Officer for every ten (10) units of heavy equipment assigned to the project site, to oversee the effective compliance with the Construction Safety and Health Program at the construction project site, in terms of heavy equipment utilization and maintenance”
Construction Heavy Equipment54
D.O.13 – ON HEAVY EQUIPMENT
• Section 10.1-a “All heavy equipment operators assigned at the
project site must be tested and certified in accordance with a standard trade test prescribed by TESDA in coordination with its accredited organization/s”
• Section 10.2.4-a “Only duly certified operators shall be allowed to
operate their designated heavy equipment”
Construction Heavy Equipment55
CONCLUSION• Heavy equipments are
powerful machines that are vital in every construction project. However, more power also means higher risks.
• Both the operators and men on foot are responsible in ensuring safety around these heavy equipments.
