16 Emulsion Sprayer Use Injury can occur if: If loads on the truck fall or are dropped.? C4 Workers are to ensure that all persons are well clear of the load area and drop zones prior to moving, loading or unloading items and ensure items are secured prior to movement of the truck or opening tray sides. Workers are to seek assistance or use mechanical aids to lift heavy, awkward or hi volume loads. B3 Persons could be crushed by truck or loading mechanical aid. Drivers must ensure persons and obstacles are well clear of the truck or plant loading truck prior operation. Ensure to keep truck and plant securely braked when not moving and ensure brakes are checked daily and as part of routine maintenance. Operators are to ensure that when truck is not in use that it is adequately braked with keys removed to prevent movement or unauthorised use or movement. If a person enters the load area whilst tray is being loaded by other plant. No person is to enter area whilst truck is being loaded by other plant other than to guide the plant operator. Workers giving guidance to plant operators are to ensure all body parts are well clear of all drop, pinch, swing and crush zones of both the plant and loads. Nature of works may cause plant or vehicles to strike persons if uncontrolled. Truck driver, plant operators and workers should have clear communications with traffic contcompactors at all times and seek acknowledgement of traffic being halted before altering Sprayer path, manoeuvring plant or working within traffic flow areas. Drivers are to ensure truck warning signs, lights and beepers are present and working and on as appropriate to the work and traffic plans prior to commencing operations. Persons may climb or ride the external surfaces of the truck No person is to climb or ride any external surfaces of the truck including tray during inspection, loading or whist in operation. Spray hose may disconnect, split or tear. C3 Ensure the plant s maintenance on spray unit and hose is conducted regularly in accordance with the manufacturer s recommendations. All maintenance should be recorded. Ensure the machine is turned off and that operators and maintenance persons wear protective gloves and eye wear when connecting or disconnecting pressured hoses or fittings. Do not operate the Sprayer with worn, kinked, cracked or damaged hoses, fittings or attachments. Stop pump and relieve system pressure before changing or adjusting fittings, hoses, spray nozzle, or other spray components and this should only be performed by approved maintenance persons. Operators are to perform daily prestart checks including pump, hose if faults are evident. A3 The hoses can create tripping hazards. Operators of the Sprayer should lay our hose in an orderly manner ensuring it does not constitute a trip hazard and is free of potential pinch or vehicle/plant crushing via driving over it. Operators are to ensure the correct mix is applied and it will dry adequately to prevent slip hazards.

17 Ride On Roller and Multi Wheeled Compactor Use Injury can occur as: Crushing from unexpected movement of the plant or load. Compactor may slip if loaded or operated on steep or slippery surfaces (e.g. Smooth metal ramps).?
