When making buildings, many machines made by Komatsu Canada are required. These can either be needed for excavation, lifting or any other process. Since these machines are large in size, it is important that proper knowledge on safety procedures are taught to the workers.

Experts suggest that equipment inspections must be done every day and preferably before it is used. Look out for faulty equipment and parts that are corroded. Be sure to conduct these evaluations in pairs. This buddy system is recommended so that areas that were previously overlooked will be noticed by the partner.

Workers must follow the indicated weight allowance for a cargo machine. It must not exceed this allowance. This can break the machine if too much stress is given to it. Workers must also make sure that no one is on the dumping site when unloading any kind of cargo. Be sure to call the attention of the people and make them clear the area before unloading.

Most of the accidents on the site happen are falls. Falls happen because the lines that hold scaffolding together are loose. The screws on ladders and temporary stairs are also another reason. It is best to have these structures inspected to prevent these falls from happening.

One of the reasons for accidents is caused by non-inspection of electrical outlets. Most processes in construction rely on electrical tools. It is important that if there are electrical issues, these are addressed immediately. Neglect on these issues will cause fires and explosions.

Warning signs must be in place to warn the workers to take precaution. Have these signs made in big and clear letters. Workers' uniform must be in bright colors. This will draw attention to operators at night and prevent from driving through people on the ground. Helmets and other protective gears should also be worn on site.

When handling Komatsu Canada, one will have to ensure that cleaning is done regularly. Operators of these machines require concentration. They must be given parking breaks to prevent them from sleeping while driving these machinery.
