Pedestrians are unlikely to come into contact with moving plant, and there could be separation such as barriers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alert zone<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pedestrians and machinery are working in the same area. Care is required.

The exclusion zone might not be a circle, as shown, because it could extend to hazards the machines are working with, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/minewiki.engineering.queensu.ca\/mediawiki\/index.php\/Conveyor_systems\">conveyer belts<\/a>. Each machine on the site has its own exclusion and alert zones, and they will intersect from time-to-time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additional information is available in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drivingtests.co.nz\/course\/excavator-training-course\/\">excavator operator&#8217;s certificate course<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting workers to the site<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use a designated car parking area for workers&#8217; vehicles and cone off a walkway so that people are not simply randomly making their way to the site, and vehicles know that it is a dedicated walkway. These paths should avoid alert and exclusion zones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ensure good visibility and lighting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tight corners and areas where operators need to reverse are scenarios where blind spots are created. Prevent pedestrians from entering these areas. Use <a href=\"https:\/\/byjus.com\/physics\/convex-mirror\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">convex mirrors<\/a> to help operators see around their vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ensure crossing points are clearly visible with no obstructions. Anywhere a pedestrian may come near to equipment operating, lighting should be good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Excavators and loaders are large machines with blind spots that make it dangerous for pedestrians when they are working in the same area.
