# §56.14103. Operators stations.

- (a) If windows are provided on operators' stations of self-propelled mobile equipment, the windows shall be made of safety glass or material with equivalent safety characteristics. The windows shall be maintained to provide visibility for safe operation.
- (b) If damaged windows obscure visibility necessary for safe operation, or create a hazard to the equipment operator, the windows shall be replaced or removed. Damaged windows shall be replaced if absence of a window would expose the equipment operator to hazardous environmental conditions which would affect the ability of the equipment operator to safely operate the equipment.
- (c) **The operator's stations of self-propelled mobile equipment shall—**
  - (1) Be free of materials that could create a hazard to persons by impairing the safe operation of the equipment; and
  - (2) **Not be modified, in a manner that obscures visibility necessary for safe operation.**
