A. The User/Operator must be competent and experienced to operate auger equipment. Anyone who

works with or around augers must have good common sense in order to be qualified. These
persons must also know and meet all other qualifications, such as:

1. Any person who has not read and/or does not understand all operation and safety instructions is

not qualified to operate any auger systems.

2. Certain regulations apply to personnel operating power machinery. Personnel under the age of

18 years may not operate power machinery, including augers. It is your responsibility, as owner
and/or supervisor, to know what these regulations are in your area or situation.

3. Unqualified or incompetent persons are to remain out of work area.

4. O.S.H.A. (Occupational Safety & Health Administration) regulations state: “At the time of initial

assignment and at least annually thereafter, the employer shall instruct every employee in the
safe operation and servicing of all equipment with which the employee is, or will be involved.”
(Federal Occupational Safety & Health Standards for Agriculture. Sub part D, Section 19287.57
(a) (6).

B. As a requirement of OSHA, it is necessary for the employer to train the employee in the safe operat-

ing and safety procedures for this auger. We included this sign-off sheet for your convenience and
personal record keeping. All unqualified people are to stay out of the work area at all times. It is
strongly recommended that another qualified person who knows the shutdown procedure is in the
area in the event of an emergency. A person who has not read this manual and understands all
operating and safety instructions, is not qualified to operate the machine.
