SAFETY MESSAGE TO OPERATORS OF FEDERAL SIGNAL BACKUP ALARMS
•
Do not operate the vehicle if the alarm is inoperative; it could jeopardize
the safety or lives of those who depend on the alarm signal for safety.
•
All effective Backup Alarms produce loud sounds which may cause, in
certain situations, permanent hearing loss. You should follow your em-
ployer's hearing conservation program and safety guidelines for instrust-
ions as to whether you should wear hearing protection.
•
Your hearing and the hearing of others, in or close to your vehicle, could
be damaged by loud sounds. This can occur from short exposures to very
loud sounds, or from longer exposures to moderately loud sounds. For
hearing conservation guidance, refer to federal, state, or local recommen-
dations. OSHA Standard 1910.95 offers guidance on "Permissible Noise
Exposure."
•
Optimum sound propagation will be reduced if Backup Alarm becomes
clogged with a foreign substance such as mud or snow. While cleaning,
ensure that foreign material is not packed into the sound ports.
•
Although your warning system is operating properly, it may not alert ev-
eryone. People may not hear, see, or heed your warning signal. You must
recognize this fact and continue to operate your vehicle cautiously.
•
Testing the Backup Alarm should be listed on the daily maintenance
report. The units on operating vehicles must be tested each day prior to
the vehicles' operation. Results of this test must be recorded in the main-
tenance file.
•
Notify your supervisor that people operating this equipment MUST
check for proper operation at the beginning of every shift.
•
It is important that you fully understand how to safely operate this
warning system before use.
