Safety

Non-negotiables for pad work, electrical boundaries, and driving.

Pad / jobsite essentials

Before you start
  • PPE on before stepping into the work area
  • Control traffic (cones/truck position/spotter when needed)
  • Ignition awareness near open sumps/spill buckets
  • Keep tools/parts controlled (no trip hazards, no loose hardware)
Stop-work rule

If conditions are unsafe or unclear, stop, make safe, and escalate. No guessing.

Electrical boundaries

Simple rule set
  • Only do what you’re trained/authorized to do
  • If uncertain: pause, make safe, call lead
  • Never “wing it” on power/control wiring
  • Communicate impact before shutdown (unless emergency)

Driving safety

Basics
  • No rushing, no distractions
  • Back up with a spotter when visibility is limited
  • Secure equipment before driving (no loose hoses/tools)

Spill mindset (quick)

What to do
  • Stop the source (if safe)
  • Contain and prevent spread
  • Notify per company procedure
  • Document what happened + what you did
