| During earth pushing work, the operator has stopped his
bulldozer on a 15< incline, has risen from his seat, and is stepping on a crawler. |
|
The bulldozer unexpectedly moved, and the worker lost his balance and fell hard on his chest against the blade.
|
| Tips for preventing similar accidents
|
| 1. |
When stopping a machine and getting out of the operator's
seat, be sure to shut off the engine and take measures to ensure that the
vehicle does not move, such as setting the side brake. |
| 2. |
Stop vehicles on surfaces that are as flat as possible. When you must stop a bulldozer on an incline, place the blade in a downward position against the ground. |
