Potential Hazard Exposures


High Pressure Oils
Most machines use a highpressure hydraulic system.
Escaping oil under pressure can
penetrate the skin causing serious
injury.
Hydraulic oil that penetrates the
skin must be treated immediately.
Use the cardboard test to locate
potential hydraulic fluid leaks.
12/15/16

JC International

23

Potential Hazard Exposures


Exhaust Fumes
Engine exhaust fumes can cause sickness or death.
If you must operate in a building provide adequate
ventilation.
Use an exhaust pipe extension to remove the exhaust
fumes.
Open doors and windows to bring outside air into the
area.

Potential Hazard Exposures


Battery Explosions
Battery gas can explode. Keep sparks, flames, and
other ignition sources away from the top of the
battery.
Never check battery charge by placing a metal object
across the posts, use a voltmeter.
Never charge a frozen battery; it may explode. Warm
battery to 16C (60F).

Potential Hazard Exposures


Fire Prevention
Handle Fuel Safely: Store flammable fluids away
from fire hazards. Never refuel machine while
smoking or when near sparks or flame.
Clean Machine Regularly: Keep trash, debris,
grease and oil from accumulating in engine
compartment, around fuel lines, hydraulic lines and
electrical wiring. Never store oily rags or flammable
materials inside a machine compartment.
Maintain Hoses and Wiring: Replace hydraulic
hoses immediately if they begin to leak, and clean up
any oil spills. Examine electrical wiring and
connectors frequently for damage.

How to Use a Fire Extinguisher


P-A-S-S
Pull -- Pull the pin at the top of the
extinguisher that keeps the handle from being
activated

Aim -- Aim the nozzle at the base of the fire


Squeeze -- Maintain a distance of eight to
ten feet away from the fire and squeeze the
handle. Discharge will only occur if the
handle is being squeezed.

Sweep -- Sweep the nozzle back and forth at


the base of the fire until it appears to be out.

Operator Fundamentals
Keep Riders Off the Machine
Only allow operator on machine.
Riders are subject to injury. They may fall from
machine, be caught between machine parts, or struck
by foreign objects.
Riders may obstruct operator's view or impair his
ability to operate machine safely.

38

Operator Fundamentals
Avoid Back-over Accidents
Before moving machine, be sure all persons
or vehicles are clear of machine path.
Be certain reverse warning alarm is working
properly.
Use a signal person when backing if view is
obstructed or when in close quarters.

12/15/16

JC International

39

Operator Fundamentals
Avoid Machine Tip Over
Use seat belt at all times.
Never jump from a tipping machine. You will be
unlikely to jump clear and the machine may crush
you.
Load and unload from trucks or trailers carefully. Be
sure truck is wide enough and on a firm level surface.
Use loading ramps and attach them properly to truck
bed.

12/15/16

JC International

Operator Fundamentals
Avoid Machine Tip Over
Use caution on slopes and avoid sharp turns.
Balance loads so weight is evenly distributed
and load is stable.
Carry tools and loads close to the ground to
aid visibility and lower center of gravity.
Avoid overloading, know your machines
capacity.

12/15/16

JC International

Operator Fundamentals
Operating or Traveling On Public Roads
For work near vehicle traffic you must have proper
lighting and markings to assure visibility.
Additional lights, beacons, slow moving vehicle (SMV)
emblems, or other devices may require installation.
Check state and local regulations to assure
compliance. Keep these devices clean and in working
condition.

12/15/16

all instructions and warnings.
Test the attachment in an open area to insure
proper operation.

Refueling
Gasoline and Diesel
The difference between these two fuels is their
ignition temperatures.
Gasoline
Extremely flammable
Colorless
Distinctive odor

Diesel
Has higher ignition point than gas
Colorless
Slight odor, harder to detect than gas
12/15/16

JC International

44

Refueling
Most skid steer filler caps are equipped
with a venting device and a fuel screen.
The screen serves as a fire retardant
device by keeping fire out of the fuel tank.
Check when refueling to make sure the
screen is in place.

12/15/16

JC International

45

Refueling
Safe refueling checklist:
Refuel in designated areas with good
ventilation
Smoking and open flames are prohibited
Shut off the skid steer, lower the attachment,
controls in neutral, and set the parking brake
before beginning
Dont overfill the tank
Clean up any spills
Use only clean, properly marked fuel cans
12/15/16

46

Batteries
A lead-acid battery is a portable power
source for supplying direct current
electricity.
The most common voltages include 12,
24, 36, and 48 volts.
Discharging a battery below 80% of its
total capacity can result in shortened
battery and truck component life.
12/15/16

JC International

47

Battery Hazards
Sulfuric Acid Small amounts can cause severe
contact burns to the skin.
Gasses Batteries produce hydrogen and
oxygen mixture continuously. Keep all ignition
sources away.
Electricity Batteries are capable of producing
very high discharge rates. Avoid direct shorting
situations.
Battery Weight Use care when handling,
charging, and using batteries in the truck.

Are you prepared?


Does the facility/jobsite have an
evacuation procedure?
Are emergency contact numbers readily
available?
Do any of your employees/co-workers
have CPR or First Aid training?
Does the facility/jobsite have a first aid kit?
12/15/16

Handling an Emergency
The three Cs, Check, Call, Care help us
remember what to do in an emergency situation.
Check check the area for your own safety first,
then the victim's
Call for help, whom ever is in the immediate
area that can provide assistance
Care - administer care to the victim, this may be
first aid or at least stabilization
