Through four generations and nearly 90 years, the Ozinga name has been established in the ready mix con-crete industry as a symbol of high quality and unparalleled service at a competitive price. 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. Perhaps best recog-nized for our red and white striped concrete mixer trucks, Ozinga is proud to be an American-owned, fourth generation family business serving the communities where we live, work and play.

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.
