Prepare Jobsite
Prepare Jobsite
A successful job begins before working. The first step in planning is reviewing information already
available about the job and jobsite.
Review Job Plan
Review blueprints or other plans. Check for information about existing or planned structures, elevations,
or proposed work that may be taking place at the same time.
Select Start and End Points
Select one end to use as a starting point. Consider the following when selecting a starting point:
Slope
Equipment should be parked on a level site. Consider how slope will affect setup and operation. Assess
the risks on each slope to determine if factors affecting risks create an unsafe condition for working. See
“Slope Guidelines” on page 74.
Space
Check that starting and ending points allow enough space for working.
Comfort
Consider shade, wind, fumes, and other site features.
Underground utilities. Contact can cause death or serious
injury. Locate and verify underground utilities before digging or drilling.
To help avoid injury:
• Expose lines by careful hand digging or soft excavation before operating equipment. Use
appropriate equipment and procedures for exposing utility lines.
• Classify jobsite and follow precautions based on classification.
• Follow local regulations for digging near utilities.
