Companies must establish thorough training, protocols, and hazard awareness to keep operators of 5 ton excavators protected on the job. Managing these top 5 risks ultimately depends on coordination between workers, supervisors, and safety managers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQ\"><\/span>FAQ<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: What are the most common excavator-related injuries?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: Statistics show the most common injuries are struck-bys when objects fall from buckets, and musculoskeletal disorders from repetitive motion and vibration.
