The Safety Print - Safety Rise
Any piece of heavy equipment can tip over under extreme conditions or if used improperly; i.e., at a high speed, especially going down an incline, or being too near an unstable edge. To help prevent accidents, make sure you are properly trained to operate the equipment and follow these safe work practices:
Ensure that all equipment used in a location where there is a danger of overturn isequipped with a Rollover Protective Structure (ROPS).
Always wear the seat belt to take advantage of ROPS protection. To survive an equipment rollover, the operator must remain inside the protective structure.
Learn to identify those areas where a rollover could happen. Use extra caution when using heavy equipment on steep or hilly terrain. Keep in mind that equipment outfitted with ROPS can still roll over. Be prepared to take appropriate control measures.
Do not try to jump away in a rollover. You could become a victim and be crushed by the ROPS.
Do not operate equipment in ways for which it was not designed. This could increase the likelihood of a rollover.
