¿Qué hay de malo en esta imagen? Cada año, los operadores de equipos pesados, los trabajadores del suelo y los peatones resultan heridos o muertos por los equipos móviles pesados utilizados en la construcción. Muchos de estos incidentes son el resultado de vuelcos o de personas que son golpeadas o aplastadas por el equipo. De hecho, las muertes por atropello son una de las cuatro causas principales de muerte en el sector de la construcción, y el 75% de ellas están relacionadas con la maquinaria pesada.

Aunque la mejor manera de mantenerse seguro es estar atento, los contratistas pueden ayudar a reducir los peligros y a minimizar las lesiones y las muertes asociadas a los equipos pesados incorporando algunos controles administrativos en el lugar de trabajo.

La visibilidad de los trabajadores y la comunicación visual y verbal desempeñan un papel importante en las operaciones seguras en curso. Los puntos ciegos pueden ser un problema importante para el operador. Un observador, entrenado en señales manuales, puede ayudar a proporcionar una guía de seguridad y comunicación entre el operador, los trabajadores y los peatones cercanos para compensar los puntos ciegos.

Los trabajadores de la construcción están rodeados de equipos pesados todos los días, y pueden acostumbrarse a la presencia de equipos pesados, sin pensar demasiado en los riesgos. Dedicar algo de tiempo a entender y seguir las normas de seguridad -y mantenerse alerta mientras se trabaja- puede ayudar a los trabajadores de la construcción a mantenerse seguros.
