RMM – 1234 Machine Inspections

As part of the 12-month Roadway Maintenance Machines (RMM) focus, the FAMES Committee would like to bring your attention to machine inspections.  Please consider these items and any more you can think of when working with roadway maintenance machines.

• Proper functioning of safety appliances (e.g., change of direction alarms, back-up alarms, collision avoidance systems, strobe lights).
• Cleanliness and operability of radio equipment and ensuring the operator’s manual is readily available on the machine.
• Highlight the need for prompt identification and repair of defects.
