RULES FOR SAFE WORK AREA
Under no circumstances should persons not
involved in the operation of the auger be

ensure that children and/or other persons
stay out of the work areas. Should anyone
not involved in the operation trespass into
the work area or into a hazard area, the
operator should immediately shutdown the
auger.
It is the responsibility of ALL operators to
ensure that the work area has secure
