First and always - protective equipment:

—

Whether it's a long day on site or just a quick glance around the cab, make sure you always wear the necessary personal protective equipment. 

Keep slipperiness under control:

—

There's a lot going on around the machine. Keep snow outside the cab, a clean cab is less likely to collect moisture. Safety starts with clean shoe soles: keep your shoes clean and slip-free, not forgetting the machine steps and ladders to avoid snow and ice accumulation!

Get on the machine safely:

—

Three points of contact on entering and leaving the cockpit - this rule is worth its weight in gold. And don't forget your seat belt. Make safety a habit. 

Visibility, visibility, visibility:

—

Mirrors, lights and reversing camera are a driver's best friend. Keep them clean and in working order - good visibility is the basis for safe working. Remember to check your own visibility on site. 

Stay alert and in a comfortable driving position:

—

Be aware of your surroundings to be aware of other road users and to avoid slips and other hazards. And when operating the machine, take a comfortable driving position - tiredness away and seat belt fastened.

Cleanliness of the working environment:

—

Cleanliness is part of safety. Avoid debris accumulating in the machine - keep your environment tidy and risks to a minimum. This will ensure that accumulated dust and dirt do not impair breathing air, accumulate frost on surfaces or cause objects to fly in a sudden stop. Keeping the windscreen and wipers clean not only improves visibility, but also prevents scratches on the glass caused by dirt. 

Preventive maintenance:

—

Check your machine daily to make sure there are no unwanted surprises. Preventive maintenance is the key to smooth operation and anticipating unexpected costs.
