Established in 1928 in Evergreen Park, Illinois, as a small coal and coke yard, Ozinga survived the Great De-pression and World War II before becoming one of the first ready mix providers in the region. Since 1952, we have faithfully met the needs of builders, holding to our longstanding commitment to provide top-quality concrete building materials at a fair price. Today we provide ready mix concrete, decorative concrete supplies, and bulk materials while offering trans-portation services through an extensive network of truck, rail, barge, and ship terminals.

Earth Mover SafetyBecause of their size and mobility, earth

movers present a host of unique risks on the

jobsite. Moreover, when injuries occur in or

around earth-moving machinery, they tend to

be serious—and sometimes even fatal. To

prevent accidents and injuries on the

worksite, follow these safety guidelines.

Plan Ahead to Prevent Accidents Your commitment to safety begins before

you even step into the driver’s seat.

Thorough preparation and planning can

greatly reduce your chance of accident or

injury. Earth-moving machine operators

should:

Check the work area for hazards such

as boulders, tree roots or overhead

power lines. If power lines are present,

maintain 10 feet of clearance at all

times.

Take note of ground conditions,

especially if mud, snow, ice or surface

water is present.

Inspect your equipment prior to use.

Look for loose or missing bolts or pins,

oil or coolant leaks, and any signs of

damage to wheels, tires, hydraulic

systems or other moving parts.

Check the brake system and brake

lights to ensure they are fully

operational.

To ensure safe visibility, make sure the

windshield and mirrors are free of dirt

and debris.

Safe Operating Procedures Earth movers can cause serious damage if

proper operating precautions are not

followed:

Stay seated with your seatbelt fastened

at all times while operating the earth

mover.

Wear any and all required personal

safety equipment, including safety

glasses, gloves, helmet, ear protection

and proper footwear.

Do not exceed manufacturer’s

recommended load limits.

Avoid sharp turns on uneven terrain,

which can cause the vehicle to become

unsteady and potentially flip over.

General Safety Policies Make sure all earth-moving vehicles are

equipped with rollover protection.

Maintain back-up alarms for equipment

with limited rear visibility.

Train workers to stay clear of backing or

turning vehicles with rotating cabs.

Verify that all machine operators have

proper training and experience.

If you have any questions or concerns about

earth mover safety, do not hesitate to

contact your supervisor

Earth movers present a host of unique risks on the job site, but thorough preparation and planning can greatly reduce your chance of accident or injury.
