Everyone has a work health and safety duty when it comes to operating earth moving equipment. We’ve collected some factors to consider when hiring and operating small and heavy earth moving equipment.

Consider hiring experienced and qualified operators from the earth moving equipment company itself. Take them through the worksite to identify potential hazards.
Perform a full inspection of the excavator according to WHS regulations.
Check that the excavator is suitable for the intended use. Make sure that you fully understand different lift capacities, especially in small earth moving equipment.
Earth moving equipment companies should always provide an OHS and operating manual. Ensure you read and understand its contents before operating.
Manage risks by identifying hazards, assessing and controlling these risks.
Check regulations in your state or territory for further advice on operating earth movers.
