Stay Safe Getting Into And Out Of Machinery

by - edited

When dealing with construction equipment, nothing should be taken for granted. Despite Cat's dedication to designing equipment for optimal safety, year after year injuries occur when operators are getting on and off machines. Following simple safety measures when mounting or dismounting various pieces of equipment will minimize injuries and prevent downtime.

We encourage you to watch a Cat safety video that addresses techniques for proper mounting and dismounting of machinery.
