Further Information
What is a Safety Observer or Spotter?
A safety observer or spotter is a worker with line of sight who communicates directly with a plant operator from the ground. A spotter can minimise collision risks by alerting the operator of any surrounding hazards or obstacles. Spotters can also assist and raise an alarm in the case of an emergency.
Spotters should be used where an operator cannot judge distances, see a clear pathway, or there are structures or plant and equipment in the vicinity of the work being carried out, such as power lines and overhead structures.
