What kind of accident is about to happen?
A worker is standing in the bucket of a shovel loader to perform some painting repairs on a wall. He is telling the shovel loader operator to move forward and raise the bucket just a little bit.
Can you predict what's about to happen?

Look what happened!
When the shovel loader operator released the side brake, the shovel loader lurched forward because it was located on a slight incline. The painting worker was injured when he was crushed between the wall and the bucket.

Tips for preventing similar accidents
1. Ensure that all workers are aware that shovel loaders are not to be ridden in any location other than the operator's seat.
2. Even when performing impromptu work, create and follow a plan that includes using the appropriate equipment for the work, such as scaffolding (including ladders or stepladders) or an aerial work platform.
3. Ensure that all workers have undergone safety training regarding activities that are prohibited for the sake of preventing accidents, the use of necessary equipment, and the necessity of due diligence.
