AT EZ Spot UR, SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT

Every equipment attachment we manufacture is designed with safety in mind and every product we sell includes an extensive Operation and Safety Manual. Industry standards command attention to safety protocols 100% of the time and at EZ Spot UR safety is our number one priority.

PPE AND WORK AREA CHECKS

• Operators should locate and put on necessary and appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) for use with the machinery or equipment before beginning use.  
• Operators must ensure that work areas are well-lit, dry, and clean before beginning work. Sawdust, paper and oily rags are a fire hazard and can damage machinery and equipment. 
• Operators must change clothing and remove jewelry that could become entangled in the machinery or equipment they operate. 

OPERATOR TRAINING

• Jobsite workers should be trained on proper procedures to safely operate all pieces of equipment they will be using. Topics covered should include safety features of the equipment and safe maneuvering of the heavy equipment.
• Only trained workers should be allowed to operate equipment for any reason.
• Be aware of the load limits of varying equipment when operating different machines. Load limits can change drastically. Ensure loads are secure with  proper rigging attachments and always inspect machines and attachments to ensure they are in proper working condition. Confirm all workers are at a safe distance when lifting and moving loads.
• Always wear a seat belt when operating heavy equipment. Seat belts in heavy equipment are designed to prevent potential injuries in the case of collisions and other accidents. Seat belts are a last line of defense in the event of a rollover.

MACHINE AND EQUIPMENT CHECKS

• If a lock or tag is in place on a piece of machinery or equipment, it may not be removed and the machinery or equipment may not be used.  
• Only qualified personnel may install or repair equipment. 

AWARENESS

• Operators should be aware of their surroundings at all times. 
• When operating heavy equipment be mindful of the area and any obstacles that may appear. Overhead power lines should be deenergized; if this isn't feasible, barriers should be marked to avoid making contact with live lines. When digging, ensure all underground utilities including gas, water, electrical and sewerl have been identified and clearly marked to avoid damage.

OPERATING PROCEDURES

• All necessary personal protective equipment is worn while the machinery or equipment is running. 
• Operators must always use the proper piece of machinery or equipment for the job. 
• Operators may not remove a guard for any reason while operating any piece of machinery or equipment. 
• If an operator is distracted or unable to focus on the work with the machinery or equipment, they must stop work with that machinery or equipment. 
• Upon finishing with a piece of equipment or machine, basic maintenance must be performed.
