Safety and instructions for Excavator

Safety is at the forefront of our operations.We extend this attitude to our employees, contractors and the community in which we operate. We recommend that you take a few minutes to review all external surroundings on the site. Know your work site and the people and structures that exist on the site to ensure optimal job site safety and productivity. Please take some time to read these safety tips.

This sheet should be given to the site supervisor if the equipment is being hired for commercial use so that the information is available to all users. For more about our machines, please visit our website, www.equipmentshare.co.nz or call your EquipmentShare Account Manager.

Excavator operation safety checklist

Before operation:    
  • Check tires, rims or undercarriage and machine for damage or abnormal wear and clear away debris.
  • Check fluid levels – engine and hydraulic oil, diesel and diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), and coolant.
  • Check for leaking or pooled fluid around and under the machine.
  • Check belts (alternator, fan, seatbelts, etc.)
  • Identify greasing points and grease frequently.
  • Check auxiliary hydraulic connections and pressure as well as control levers.
  • Before moving the machine, make sure the windshield and mirrors are clean and set properly.
  • Please inform us immediately if you see any leaks or are concerned with anything on the machine.
During operation:
  • Excavators only have one seat, which is meant for the operator, no other passenger is permitted.
  • Never attempt to operate the excavator unless you are sitting in the seat and in full control.
  • Reduce the excavator’s speed when working on rough terrain or within congested areas.
  • Carry the bucket low to the ground during transport. This will increase visibility and machine stability.
  • When moving the excavator around the job site, select a route that is as flat as possible.
  • Steer the machine as straight as possible and only make small gradual changes in direction when turning.
  • Never dig underneath the excavator.
  • When backfilling a cave-in, the excavator’s tracks should be at a 90-degree angle to the excavation with the propel motors to the rear of the machine.
  • When loading trucks, never swing the excavator bucket or the truck cab. By swinging over the rear of the truck, any loose materials will fall on the ground or in the bed, rather than on the cab.
  • Never attempt to clean the excavator’s bucket by striking it on the ground or against another object. 
After operation:
  • When shutting down the machine, be sure it’s parked somewhere safe and on a level surface with the bucket attachment lowered to the ground.
  • Turn off the auto-idle switch and run the engine at half throttle without load for a few minutes to help cool the turbocharger down.
  • Set the RPM to low idle before shutting the engine off with the key switch.
  • Do not forget to lock up the cab when exiting the equipment.
  • Check for new signs of structural damage, scratches or dents on the machine and buckets.

Hazardous materials

Any contractor performing work involving “hazardous” materials is required to have a plan as per New Zealand Guidelines for the Management and Removal of Hazardous Materials.This includes procedures for decontaminating equipment and notifying affected parties of the potential hazard.If you are using this equipment for in a hazardous area, you must notify EquipmentShare and you’re required to provide evidence of decontamination prior to returning it. It is an offence under the H&S Act not to do so.

General safety and instructions

Health and Safety is at the forefront of our operations. We extend this attitude to our employees, contractors, and the community in which we operate. We recommend that you take a few minutes to undertake a Risk Assessment on before starting work on your jobsite.

Assessing risk involves reviewing all external surroundings on the site and considering what could happen if someone is exposed to a hazard and the likelihood of it happening. Knowing your work site, the people and structures that exist on the site will help ensure optimal job site safety and boost productivity.

Please take some time to read this information before using EqupimentShare’s machinery. This information should also be given to the site supervisor if the equipment is being hired for commercial use so that the information is available to all users.

Before starting a new project, it’s important to undertake a risk assessment as this allows you to evaluate potential hazards that could arise from the:

  • Jobsite
  • Equipment and materials used
  • The work to be done
  • Job tasks and activities

We recommend the following three steps to minimise risks:

  • Identify the hazard
  • Analyse and evaluate the risk associated with that hazard (may require liaising with internal and external parties)
  • Determine appropriate ways to eliminate the hazard or control the risk when the hazard cannot be eliminated

For more about identifying and managing risk, please visit Worksafe New Zealand website www.worksafe.govt.nz

If for any reason the equipment you hired is not operating correctly or you are not satisfied with its performance, stop work and inform your supervisor and EquipmentShare. Alternatively, your supervisor can contact Equipt. Never attempt to repair the equipment yourself. Contact your EquipmentShare Account Manager directly or the Head Office on 09 884 0440.

Health & safety tips

Take some time to read this guide, safety tips and manufacturers operating instructions before, operating any equipment.

Inspect the equipment before commencing work and report any damage or concerns to your supervisor or Equipt Account Manager.Equipment shouldn’t be used if it’s damaged or faulty.

  • Ensure that you have the right machine for the job, and you know how to use it safely and effectively.
  • Do not use any equipment if you’re tired, under the influence of alcohol, drugs or suffering from a medical condition that prohibits you from operating any equipment.
  • Plan your time effectively, do not hurry and take short cuts as this may increase the risk of an accident.
  • Ensure equipment and tools are assembled and used according to the manufacturer’s and EquipmentShare’s instructions.
  • Ensure machine controls and other devices are working properly.
  • Always keep firm footing and balance, do not overreach or stretch.
  • Make sure any equipment or loads are securely and safely restrained during transportation.
  • Ensure the machine has the correct guard rails fitted and do not use equipment without rails.
  • Ensure you have the appropriate license or Certificate of Competency issued by a regulatory authority to operate the equipment.
  • Ensure you have clear visibility around you and maintain constant awareness of your surroundings when operating equipment.
  • Ensure the weather conditions are suitable for the job. If weather conditions are not suitable, stop work immediately and park the equipment somewhere safe and secure.
  • To avoid injury or machine damage, use correct lifting techniques or devices where applicable for lifting materials or transporting items.
  • Wear suitable clothes. Loose clothing, jewellery and long hair can be caught up in machine parts.
  • If possible, protect yourself from outside weather elements by wearing long sleeved clothing, sun protection, and hat.
