General Safety Practices
WARNING
Steep Grade:
In areas where steep grades exist, vehicle operations should be restricted to the
designated vehicle pathways wherever and whenever possible. Such potential hazards should be identified with a
suitable warning giving the following information: "Warning: STEEP GRADE - Ascend or descend slowly and
proceed with due caution.”
WARNING
Wet Areas
:
Wet grassy areas may cause a vehicle to lose traction and may affect stability. Wet
areas should be chained or roped off to prevent access and potential accidents with injury.
WARNING
Sharp Turns, Blind Corners, Bridge Approaches:
Sharp turns, blind spots, bridge
approaches and other potentially hazardous areas shall be either chained or roped off to prevent vehicle
operations or identified with a suitable warning to the operator of the nature of the hazard and stating the proper
precautions to be taken to avoid the hazard.
