being struck by the
moving equipment.

hazards that are caused by
restricted visibility. Examples of jobsite organization are: workers that
direct traffic,
controlled patterns of machine movement, communication between workers and
operators
prior to approaching the machine".
In addition to this provide procedures and training for proper lane
clearances so loads can be
carried low to the ground therefore workers do not get struck because the
