Sec.  57.14103  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 operators' stations of self-propelled mobile equipment 

shall--

    (1) Be free of materials that may 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.
