Visibility Information 
Before you start the machine, the operator shall perform a walk-around inspection in order to ensure that there are no 
hazards around the machine. 
While the machine is in operation, the operator should constantly survey the area around the machine. The operator needs to 
identify potential hazards as a hazard becomes visible around the machine. 
Your machine may be equipped with mirrors or other visual aids. An example of a visual aid is Closed Circuit Television 
(CCTV). The operator should ensure that the visual aids are in proper working condition and that the visual aids are clean. 
Adjust the visual aids for the best visibility of all areas around the machine. 
It may not be possible to provide direct visibility on large machines to all areas around the machine. Appropriate job site 
organization is required in order to minimize hazards that are caused by restricted visibility. Job site organization is a 
collection of rules and procedures that coordinates machines and people that work together in the same area.
