ACTION!
Discuss and demonstrate "blind spots" – those areas around every
vehicle or piece of equipment which are partly or completely blocked
from the view of the operator or driver, even with the help of mirrors.
The "blind spots" of a backhoe are shown by the dark areas in
the diagram.
Review the standard safety hand signals your crew needs to be familiar
with and use regularly for the job.
