Equipment and accessories installed on haulage vehicles do not impair the driver's vision to the front or sides. Every vehicle and piece of heavy equipment has two operating headlights and two operating taillights when visibility conditions warrant. Every vehicle and piece of heavy equipment has working brake lights. Dump trucks that tilt to release their load have a visible or audible warning when the elevating mechanism is activated. Loads on vehicles are secured against displacement.
Drivers operating loaders have adequate visibility, and the equipment is stable.
On piledrivers, safety chains on compression hose fittings are in place and in working order, to prevent thrashing if disconnected. The employer requires the use of seat belts when operating or riding in vehicles or heavy equipment. Operators do not exceed safe or posted speed limits. Wherever feasible, a spotter is used to help operators back up vehicles and heavy equipment. The spotter stands well away from the operation, in clear view of the operator.
