The dirt collected from side ditch cleanup work along a mountain road is
being loaded into a rough-terrain vehicle. A worker is trying to dump the
collected dirt from the bed of the vehicle into a disposal site located
down the side of the mountain.
Can you predict what's about to happen?
Look what happened!
When he tried to dump the load by parking the vehicle along the edge of
the dumping site, the edge collapsed. The operator was injured when both
he and the vehicle tumbled down the incline.
Tips for preventing similar accidents
1.
Check the status of the foundation and the top of a slope before performing
work, and take adequate safety measures, such as placing steel plates to
provide support where necessary.
2.
Because dumping operations cause the center of gravity of a vehicle to
shift toward the exit location, give due consideration to this shift when
positioning the vehicle.
