It outlines program goals and purpose, including hazard evaluation and communication to all affected workers. The program specifies which types of heavy equipment are covered, the certification and evaluation process for operators, and mandatory general safety measures. It further details pre-start inspections, PPE requirements, maintenance and lockout/tagout, worksite checks, safe mounting, startup testing, operation rules, refueling, and battery handling practices.","Sample safety program:\nHeavy equipment safety\nInsert company name\nHeavy equipment safety program\nIntroduction\nImproper procedures used by our employees can cause injury, disability, or death. By outlining and following safe operating procedures for use of heavy equipment, we learn to prevent injury and safeguard ourselves and our coworkers.\nGoals\nTo ensure all employees know and understand the safe operating procedures for the operation and maintenance of heavy equipment.\nPurpose\nAccidents resulting from heavy equipment operation can result in severe personal injury or death, major property damage and major damage to company products. This poses a serious problem for workers and their employer. This program establishes uniform requirements to make sure that hazards associated with the use of heavy equipment are evaluated, and that this information is transmitted to all affected workers.\nSafe operating procedures for the following heavy equipment:\nAsphalt pavers\nBackhoes\nTracked excavators\nCompactor\nDozers\nCranes\nBoom trucks\nLoaders\nRoad graders\nScrapers\nSkid loaders\nTrucks\nCertification\n(Insert Company Name) will certify each operator has been trained and evaluated as required by this program. The certification will include the name of the operator, the date of the training, the date of the evaluation, and the identity of the person(s) performing the training and evaluation.\nAll employees allowed to operate any piece of heavy equipment, even if only occasionally, will be required to be certified beforehand.\nOnly trained and authorized operators shall be permitted to operate the designated equipment.\nGeneral safety for heavy equipment\nPersonal protective equipment is mandatory and may include the following:\nBoots/safety toe shoes\nEye/face protection\nLong pants\nHard hat\nHearing protection\nGloves\nBefore work starts a pre-start/walk around inspection will be conducted:\nCheck for loose or worn parts and repair or replace immediately.\nCheck all fluid/coolant levels.\nCaution: Open the radiator cap only when the engine is cooled.\nInspect hydraulic line connectors and hoses for leaks before applying pressure to the system. Use paper or cardboard, not your hands, to search for leaks.\nCaution: Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate skin and cause serious bodily harm.\nCheck tires for cuts, bulges, irregularities, abnormal wear and proper inflation.\nA fire extinguisher and first aid kit shall be mounted in the cab.\nMachine maintenance:\nWhen servicing equipment, fasten a Do Not Operate tag on the steering wheel or ignition.\nReview Lock out/Tag out Procedures prior to servicing any equipment.\nEnsure the cab area is clean and free of debris and tools.\nClean windshield, mirrors and lights.\nRemove all oil, grease or mud and snow from grab irons, handrails, steps, pedals, and floor to prevent slips and falls.\nRemove or secure any loose items such as tools, chains, or lunch boxes from the cab.\nWork site:\nCheck and mark the area for underground cables, gas lines, and water mains.\nKnow work area clearances - watch for overhead or underground objects, holes, drop-offs, and partially hidden obstacles and wires.\nMount properly:\nDo not get on or off a machine that is in motion.\nMaintain a 3-point contact with the steps and handrails while getting on/into the machine.\nDo not use the controls or steering wheel as a handhold.\nDo not operate the machine with wet, greasy, or muddy hands or shoes.\nStarting and testing:\nExhaust fumes are dangerous- always have a running machine in a well-ventilated area.\nFasten your seat belt and adjust the seat prior to starting.\nControls should be in neutral and the parking brake set before starting engine.\nStart the engine only from the operator's seat.\nWarn personnel in the area that you are starting the engine.\nCheck all gauges, light, instruments and warning devices to assure that they are functioning properly, and the readings are within normal range.\nTest steering right and left.\nTest brakes against gro","cbCaikpDd2W2ujSi","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikpDd2W2ujSi","docx",65560,15,"English","en",105,"# Introduction\n# Goals\n# Purpose\n# Covered Equipment\n# Certification\n# General Safety for Heavy Equipment\n## Personal Protective Equipment\n## Pre-Start/Walk Around Inspection\n## Machine Maintenance\n## Work Site\n## Mounting Properly\n## Starting and Testing\n## Machine Operation\n## Refueling\n## Batteries","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the heavy equipment safety program?\",\"answer\":\"The program establishes uniform requirements so hazards associated with heavy equipment use are evaluated and the information is transmitted to all affected workers, reducing serious injuries, death, and property damage.\"},{\"question\":\"How does operator certification work?\",\"answer\":\"(Insert Company Name) certifies each operator has been trained and evaluated as required.
