Best Practices:

• Perform pre-operational examinations of mobile equipment.
• Maintain control of self-propelled mobile equipment while it is in motion.
• After repair and maintenance, ensure mobile equipment is safe to operate.
• Always wear a seatbelt and remain in the cab with your seatbelt on while operating mobile equipment. Never attempt to exit or jump from an out-of-control vehicle.
