The Manufacturers’ Approach to Construction Equipment Safety

The manufacturers of construction machinery, through their Construction Industry Manufacturers Association (CIMA), have developed a performance standards activity to act as a focal point for safety standards for the industry, construction equipment users, and government regulatory bodies.

Written policies and procedures guide this activity toward the objective of worldwide development and standardization of good safety codes and regulations. Coordination and cooperation with SAE and other technical societies is a vital part of this activity.
