A computer-implemented method for providing a warning including the steps of obtaining data relating to the location of an object, such as a public utility system 4, 6, 8, and to the location of a material handling machine 10, comparing the location of the material handling machine to the location of the object, estimating a probability of a damage occurring and, if the estimate exceeds a threshold value, issuing a warning by the computer 72. The material handling machine 10 may be a backhoe loader, a tele-handler or an excavator with an implement such as a bucket 24. The public utility system may be a buried underground pipeline 4, overhead cable 8 or poles or pylons 6. The method may include obtaining information relating to the position of the implement 24 relative to the material handling machine 10, for example the height of the implement, to the movement of the material handling machine, such as the speed or direction of movement, to the type of the material handling machine or to the state of the material handling machine, such as engine speed or hydraulic system pressure and using this information to estimate the probability of a damage occurring. The warning may include an audible, visual or vibration alarm or a message containing data about probability of a damage occurring.
