Where equipment might present a hazard by protruding, swinging, <br /> dropping material or other similar activity(backhoe, certain loading <br /> operations, most construction sites). <br /> 3. While tree trimming, heavy brushing, working in and around bucket booms, <br /> demolishing and similar activity. <br /> 4. Where a contractor or other in charge may have designated a site as a <br /> hard hat area. <br /> CITY OF ST. ANTHONY EMPLOYEE SAFETY MANUAL • <br /> (2/93) Page 14 <br />
