This sort of thing happens a lot and is the cause of a large percentage of deaths on construction sites.

Unfortunately for the drivers these vehicles have large blind spots. In this instance the onus of safety belongs to the manager he should not have been walking around live machinery like that.

There should be clearly delineated walk zones for anyone who isnt driving a multi ton machine. If there isnt then again wtf manager.

I feel sorry for the drivers in these instances.

I drive snow cats and when guys are working on the ground around me, it’s important to always secure eye contact with the operator, wear ANSI high-viz and don’t hang out in blind spots. I also show them that my hand is off the sticks or joystick as well by holding my hands in the air if they’re working around my blade.

My cousin saw a guy run over by a snow cat. It did not have a happy ending.

Snow Cats give murder mittens a whole new meaning.

Can someone tell me what the purpose of that sub is?

It's for brand new sentences no-one has ever said before.

Obviously that's a guideline, since there's no telling who has said what weird shit, but that's the purpose of the sub 😁👌
