Who is responsible for guiding the driver/operator into the appropriate position while operating in a confined space?

The spotter plays a crucial role in guiding the driver/operator into the correct position when operating in confined spaces. This position requires awareness of spatial constraints and potential hazards that may not be visible from the operator’s viewpoint. The spotter assists by providing clear, effective communication regarding the vehicle's surroundings and relaying instructions to ensure safe maneuvering.

In confined spaces, visibility can often be limited, making the spotter's perspective invaluable. The spotter can see obstacles, clearances, and the vehicle's alignment with the intended path. Their guidance helps prevent accidents and improves operational efficiency, thereby ensuring that the vehicle is safely positioned without risking damage or injury.
