Contracted workers were using poorly maintained vehicles and equipment without proper training or certification. A supervisor's inspection found issues with vehicle serviceability, operator certification checks, and frequency of required training. Workers were also not following regulations around maintaining visual and audio contact, operating within equipment specifications, and slope control. Failure to comply with these safety regulations put employees, equipment, and property at risk of damage or a potential fatality.
