Earth Moving Machinery
Earth-Moving Machinery Standards apply to machines, attachments, and derived machinery designed for loosening, picking-up, moving, transporting and/or distributing earth, or to grade earth and rock. These standards identify the hazards associated with numerous and diverse types of earth-moving machines and lay out guidelines for the reduction of such risks as those arising during commissioning, operation, or maintenance. Among the machines included here are tractor-dozers, loaders, backhoe-loaders, excavators, dumpers, scrapers, pipelayers, trenchers, landfill compactors, cable excavators, and rollers.
