24 - Risk Assessment
Introduction

It is the responsibility of the competent people that

plan the work and operate the machine to make a

judgement about the safe use of the machine, they

must take into account the specific application and

conditions of use at the time.

It is essential that a risk assessment of the work to be

done is completed and that the operator obeys any

safety precautions that the assessment identifies.

If you are unsure of the suitability of the machine for

a specific task, contact your JCB dealer who will be

pleased to advise you.

The  following  considerations  are  intended  as

suggestions of some of the factors to be taken into

account  when  a  risk  assessment  is  made.  Other

factors may need to be considered.

A good risk assessment depends on the training and

experience of the operator. Do not put your life or the

lives of others at risk.

Personnel

Are  all  persons  who  will  take  part  in  the

operation sufficiently trained, experienced and

competent? Are they fit and sufficiently rested?

A sick or tired operator is a dangerous operator.

Is  supervision  needed?  Is  the  supervisor

sufficiently trained and experienced?

As  well  as  the  machine  operator,  are  any

assistants or lookouts needed?

The Machine

Is it in good working order?

Have any reported defects been corrected?

Have the daily checks been carried out?

Are the tyres still  at the  correct  pressure and

in good condition and is there sufficient fuel to

complete the job (if applicable)?

The Load

How heavy is it? Is it within the capabilities of

the machine?

How bulky is it? The greater the surface area,

the more affected it will be by wind speeds.

Is  it  an  awkward  shape?  How  is  the  weight

distributed? Uneven loads are more difficult to

handle.

Is there a possibility of the load shifting while

being moved?

Loading/Unloading Area

Is it level? Any slope of more than 2.5% (1 in

40) must be carefully considered.

Is more than one direction of approach to the

load  possible?  Approaching  across  the  slope

must be avoided, if possible.

Is the ground solid? Will it support the weight of

the machine when loaded?

How  rough  is  the  ground?  Are  there  any

sharp projections which could cause damage,

particularly to the tyres?

Are there any obstacles or hazards in the area,

for  example,  debris,  excavations,  manhole

covers, power lines?

Is the space sufficient for safe manoeuvring?

Are any other machines or persons likely to be

in or to enter the area while operations are in

progress?

The Route to be Travelled

How solid is the ground, will it provide sufficient

traction and braking? Soft ground will affect the

stability of the machine and this must be taken

into account.

How  steep  are  any  slopes,  up/down/across?

A  cross  slope  is  particularly  hazardous,  is  it

possible to detour to avoid them?

Weather

How windy is it? High wind will adversely affect

the stability of a loaded machine, particularly if

the load is bulky.

Is  it  raining  or  is  rain  likely?  The  ground  that

was  solid  and  smooth  when  dry  will  become

uneven and slippery when wet, and it will not

give the same conditions for traction, steering

or braking.
