If the dumper tips over during operation, what should the operator do?

Staying inside the vehicle until it comes to a complete stop is the safest course of action if a dumper tips over during operation. The structure of the dumper is designed to provide a protective cage around the operator, which can help shield them from injury during a tip-over. Exiting the vehicle in such a situation can increase the risk of injuries due to falling debris, the vehicle’s movement, or other hazards in the surrounding environment.

Remaining seated with seat belts fastened, if equipped, can help reduce the risk of harm. Once the vehicle has stabilized, the operator can then assess the situation and exit safely once the risk of further tilting or injury has passed. This procedure aligns with standard safety protocols for heavy machinery operation, aiming to minimize the potential for accidents in an already precarious situation.
