Potential Hazards
A skid steer loader operator must
ALWAYS
be conscious of the working
environment. Operator actions, the environmental conditions and the job at
hand require the full attention of the operator so that safety precautions can be
taken.
ALWAYS
maintain a safe distance from electric power lines and avoid contact
with any electrically charged conductor or gas line. Accidental contact or
rupture can result in electrocution or an explosion. Contact the North
American One Call Referral System at (888) 258-0808 for the local "Digger's
Hotline" number or the proper local authorities for utility line locations
BEFORE
starting to dig!
Exposure to crystalline silica (found in sand, soil and rocks) has been
associated with silicosis, a debilitating and often fatal lung disease. A Hazard
Review (Pub. No. 2002-129) by the U.S. National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH) indicates a significant risk of chronic silicosis for
workers exposed to inhaled crystalline silica over a working lifetime.
NIOSH recommends an exposure limit of 0.05 mg/m
3
as a time-weighted
average for up to a 10-hr workday during a 40-hr workweek. NIOSH also
recommends substituting less hazardous materials when feasible, using
respiratory protection and regular medical examinations for exposed
workers.
Safety Decals
The skid steer loader has decals that provide safety information and
precautions around the loader. These decals must be kept legible. If missing
or illegible, they must be replaced promptly. Replacements may be obtained
from your Gehl dealer. New equipment must have all decals specified by the
manufacturer affixed to their proper place.
New Decal Application
Surfaces must be free of dirt, dust, grease and foreign material before
applying the decal. Remove the smaller portion of the decal backing paper
and apply the exposed adhesive to the clean surface, maintaining proper
position and alignment. Peel the rest of the backing paper and apply hand
pressure to smooth out the decal surface. Refer to the following pages for
proper decal location. Text decals begin on page 9; no-text decals begin on
page 12.
