If you’re in the blind spot, you’re in danger — even if the operator doesn’t know it.
Heavy equipment often has large blind spots that make it difficult for operators to see nearby workers, especially when reversing or turning. These toolbox talks cover common blind spot hazards, spotter roles, exclusion zone best practices, signage, barricades, and maintaining safe distances. Use them to help crews understand where not to stand — and how to stay visible and safe around moving equipment.
Use these toolbox talks to reinforce safe behavior around heavy equipment, reduce struck-by incidents, and improve awareness of machine operating zones.
