Caught-In and Caught-Between Hazards
US & Canada General Construction Mechanical
Why it matters
Rotating parts, pinch points, and equipment against fixed objects cause amputations and fatalities.
Key points
- Keep guards on rotating equipment; never reach into moving machinery.
- Stay out of the swing radius of excavators and cranes.
- Never position yourself between moving equipment and a fixed object.
- Loose clothing, jewelry, and long hair are entanglement hazards.
- Block or crib raised equipment before working under it.
