To prevent uncontrolled movement of equipment, materials, or personnel, it is essential to limit travel speed based on ground conditions, congestion, visibility, slope, and the location of personnel. Other factors that may create a hazard of collision or injury to personnel should also be considered. [4]

When material is dumped from a vehicle, a bumper block or berm must be provided and maintained to prevent the vehicle from sliding. Dumping should not occur where the ground could fail to support the vehicle's weight, and operators should have an unobstructed view of the dumping location. [1]

In the event of a hydrogen leak from fuel cells, turn off the truck, move all personnel at least 10 meters (33 feet) away, and use dry chemical (ABC) fire extinguishers. Alert emergency personnel immediately. [2]

For lithium-ion batteries, exit the area immediately if there is leaking gas or liquid, excessive heat, flames, or sudden noise. Alert emergency personnel and do not use open flames or create sparks near the battery. [2]

When pushing an inoperable SR unit, set the EMERGENCY STOP switch to off, turn the MAIN POWER switch off, and remove the key. Open the free-wheeling valve inside the hydraulic compartment. Release the brakes at the rear wheels using a 3/4" box-end wrench. Ensure the SR is on a level surface or securely attached to a vehicle capable of controlling it on a grade, and push at a speed no faster than 2 mph (3.2 km/hr) to prevent damage to the drive motors.

To prevent incidents involving moving vehicles and equipment, employers should ensure that mobile equipment is equipped with well-maintained audible backup alarms and that work procedures minimize pedestrian exposure to moving vehicle hazards. Enforce policies that establish pedestrian-free zones where possible and consider providing personal audible alarms to pedestrian workers. [5]

For emergent work on roadways (lasting less than 5 minutes), a risk evaluation is required. The work vehicle should use a flashing arrow board in caution mode or a 360-degree flashing light and 4-way flashers. [6]

Workers on foot should remain alert, check surroundings often, keep a safe distance from traffic, stay behind protective barriers when possible, and look out for each other, providing warnings as necessary. [7]
