When operating a heavy machine, it is important to wear the appropriate safety gear such as goggles, face shields, hearing protection and hard hats. Additionally, make sure you are trained on how to operate the machine and be sure to keep your hands and clothing away from moving parts at all times. Always use extra caution near pinch points or anywhere where your clothing could get caught in an unexpected movement. Keep in mind that proper maintenance is also key to prevent any malfunctions that could pose a danger while operating the machine.

When operating a heavy machine, safety measures should include wearing appropriate clothing and safety gear (such as gloves, goggles, and a hard hat), being cautious of the size and weight of the machinery, knowing how to use any necessary tools or levers properly and correctly following all operating instructions. Additionally, one should never reach into the path of a blade or move in front of it without being certain that it has stopped moving; keep bystanders away from the machine at all times; be aware of nearby obstructions which can cause accidents; inspect machines for any potential malfunctions before using them; stay alert while operating so as to avoid possible obstacles or slips and have an adult assist inexperienced operators when dealing with hazardous machines.
