What action is recommended before using a dumper?

Conducting a pre-operation safety check is essential before using a dumper to ensure that the equipment is in good working condition and safe to operate. This safety check typically involves inspecting various components of the dumper, such as brakes, lights, and fluid levels, as well as looking for any signs of wear or damage. By performing this check, the operator can identify any potential hazards or mechanical issues that could lead to accidents or malfunctions during operation. This proactive approach greatly enhances workplace safety for both the operator and other personnel on-site.

While reviewing the operator's manual and gathering tools are important steps in the overall operation process, they do not specifically address the immediate safety checks needed before use. Notifying personnel about operations is also a good practice but does not contribute directly to ensuring that the dumper itself is safe and ready for operation.
