Familiarize yourself with the operation manual for each piece of equipment. Understanding the manufacturer’s guidelines can prevent mishandling and accidents. Be proficient with the controls and their functions.
Maintain Clear Communication
Make sure that all your operators, construction employees, and other contractors are always communicating with radios and hand signals. This is extremely important at a construction site.
