Gator Safety

I know what your thinking. Alligators, Florida Gators? Of course not, you just avoid those. I am speaking of the Gators we drive around on the jobsite. You know those nifty little buggies that can go through anything, well almost anything.

There are currently no OSHA regulations directly regarding these machines, but keep in mind that you could get caught in the "General Duty Clause", if you haven't set up your program right. So what is setting it up right? How about training the operator and completing inspections? Well if you don't have the information to get this accomplished, I have provided you (as always) with a link to the information. So good luck, and go Gators (get for real, I am not talking about Florida).
