Remaining risk factors
Plate compactors are heavy machines and should be positioned by two persons. For this you have to
use the lifting handles of the machine. Also take care of the right lifting technique.
Squashing
Keep your hands and feet away from moving parts, because they might get under the plate compactor.
Wear steel-toed shoes for minimizing this danger.
You also have to take care that the machine and the operator have a good stand. The machine mustn’t
fall, slide or keel over during operation.
Damage to health by vibrations
Longer operations lead to circulation disorder. So:
Have breaks regularly.
Wear safety gloves which decrease the vibration intensity.
The hardness of the working ground, cold temperatures and personal disposition decrease the
allowed operation time. Excessive operation times may cause damages of the joints and the muscles.
Have breaks and restrain the operation time corresponding your state of health and your physical
welfare.
Sources of danger of the working area
Ensure that the walls of a trench are steady and that they won’t tumble down by the vibrations.
Ensure that there are no voltage-carrying cables, gas lines or water pipes which can be damaged
during operation.
Be careful when you work near unprotected holes or excavations. The operation of the machine
happens on your own responsibility and your discretion.
