Safe operation of small excavators - comply with regulations

[DIG-DOG]

There is a saying in our work: "All safety accidents are the same reason: do not comply with the rules and regulations", then what are the rules and regulations for driving excavator? How to avoid the occurrence of excavatoraccidents as far as possible, how to reduce the failure of the excavatorand extend the life of the excavator? Xiaobian has compiled some common mistakes in security operations, and some precautions to share with you.

First, remember to lock the door, do not hold the door frame

There are many masters, when driving the excavator, they are used to not locking the door (the door of the excavator cab is locked, and the door is also locked when opened), and they are used to holding the door frame. When the excavator is going downhill or off the trailer, many drivers will push the left hand on the front windshield or door frame, and operate the excavatorwith the right hand. At this time, if the door is open and not locked, because the fuselage leans forward, the door will be forced to close quickly because of gravity, usually with great force. If you put your hand on the door frame, it gets caught. The consequences are serious.

Therefore, when opening the excavator, no matter whether the door is opened or closed, it must be locked. The driver should try not to hold the door frame.

Second, pay attention to walking

There are many novices or apprentices in order to make the sight better, will raise the excavatorboom to the highest, the bucket rod is fully open, and the bucket is in the sky. In fact, it is very dangerous to walk this way, because the working device is high, the center of gravity is high, and the ground is slightly uneven.

3. Pay attention to blind areas of sight

The cab of the excavatoris on the left, and the passive arm in the middle blocks the line of sight, so there is a large blind spot on the right side, especially the right rear. Many excavator accidents have injured or killed people because the right side of the tail is rotating! Therefore, when working in a field that is not very wide, the excavator should be left as far as possible to leave more space on the right side.

Also, many people do not pay much attention to the rearview mirror of the excavator, the rearview mirror is a very fragile thing on the excavator, often touched off in the work or transportation, many drivers will feel touched it, anyway, it is not important, it did not change the new rearview mirror in time. In fact, the rearview mirror on the excavator is very important, especially on the right side, and the occurrence of accidents is often due to poor safety awareness!
