What kind of accident is about to happen?

To load a drag shovel onto a transport vehicle, the bucket is being used as a support to lift the body of the shovel onto the bed of the truck. Can you predict what's about to happen?

Look what happened!

The crawler tracks of the drag shovel slipped from the transport truck bed, causing the drag shovel to topple over. The operator was pinned beneath it.

Tips for preventing similar accidents
1.	Load machinery using proper methods and procedures, such as using gangplanks.
2.	Assign a worker to serve as a guide and confirm signals in advance.
3.	Ensure that everyone involved undergoes safety training (on proper work procedures) before the work starts.
4.	Ensure that a transport vehicle is appropriate for the size and weight of the machine to be transported, and inspect that vehicle upon arrival.
