of the work area to identify potential hazards.
• Use of hearing protection reduces the ability to hear warnings (shouts or alarms).
The operator must pay extra attention to what is going on in the work area. Do not get
distracted, and always concentrate on the task.

for other persons to enter your work area.
• Keep fi rm footing and balance.

footing on slopes.
