5 common safety hazards that novice excavator masters should avoid

Excavator is not only a technical work but also a mental work that requires a lot of energy. Novice excavator masters cannot be as proficient as old drivers. They tend to focus too much on engineering operations and easily ignore some safety issues. Today, Xiaowang will take you to understand the potential safety hazards in the excavator operation, so that you can safely pass the experience from novice to Xiaobai.

01

leave enough space on the right

The cockpit of the excavator is on the left, so there will be a large blind spot on the right side of the excavator, which makes it easy for us to not see the obstacles on the right side during the process of driving the excavator. Therefore, experienced excavator masters often leave enough space on the right side of the excavator when driving the excavator, which can not only broaden their vision, but also allow others to have enough time to avoid. In addition, the rearview mirror of the excavator is also very important. Many novices feel that the rearview mirror is irrelevant, and even if it is broken, it is not repaired in time, which often greatly increases the probability of an excavator accident.

02

maintain good driving habits

Many new operators have a bad habit. In order to pursue a wider field of vision, they often raise the boom of the excavator high, so that the center of gravity of the excavator will be tilted forward. There is a danger of tipping over, so developing good driving habits is essential.

03

Develop the ability of self-analysis and judgment

New operators who have just entered the industry, when working, often the construction workers say what they say, without their own judgment, so some unexpected situations often occur. In fact, construction workers also have their own limitations, because many construction workers do not know how to drive excavators themselves, and do not know some details of excavator operation, so it is easy to relax their vigilance for some work that does not look very dangerous from the outside, such as lifting Rotation of heavy objects, cross-ditch operation, etc. We must have our own judgment on these dangerous actions. If we feel that there are potential safety hazards, we must communicate and negotiate with the construction workers in time. Don't do what the construction workers say, don't wait for an accident to regret it.

04

Explore first, then move forward

For some excavators working on soft ground such as river beaches, it is easy to sink the machine into quicksand swamps, so when working in these dangerous areas, every step must be taken carefully, first use a bucket to explore the path, and then move forward Yes, and you should try to avoid staying in one place for too long. This also reduces the risk of the excavator getting stuck in the sand.

05

Correct driving posture

Many young drivers like to take off their shoes and put one foot on the driver's seat when operating the machine. In fact, this is a very bad driving habit. Such a sitting position will make the movement of their hands inconvenient. , it is difficult to deal with emergencies in time, and this sitting position is easy to cause lumbar disc herniation in the long run. In addition, the cockpit door should also be closed, and do not cover it, otherwise the excavator will easily catch itself or other people's hands when going up and down the slope.
