Safety of digging
Digging may expose buried electric cables, and
some attachments may make it possible to reach
overhead powerlines with the loader, creating hazard
of electric shock and electrocution.
Plan work ahead and take necessary safety
precautions.
Deeper excavations may cave in. Depending on
various factors, such as the type of the soil, moisture
content, rainwater, steepness of the excavation, the
excavation can collapse and bury in people. Contact
local authorities or surveying companies for
information about how to reduce the risk of caving in
of excavations.
Keep in mind that all pipes might not be marked
correctly. Contact local surveying companies for
searching of potential hazards in ground whenever in
doubt.
.
Contact local authorities before digging
At some areas you may be obligated to contact
relevant authorities before digging ground. Some
areas have a direct telephone line or information on
a website where you can find more information about
possible hazards in the ground. Find out about your
local regulations before digging.
Damaging any electric or communications cables,
gas or water pipes, or similar structures buried in the
ground can put you in risk of serious injury or even
death. Damages while digging can cause also
significant property damages. As the operator of the
equipment you are responsible for the safety of any
digging work and you may be responsible for any
damages caused by digging.
