2 Safety
Determination and assessment of hazards from use of industrial trucks
Experts
Experts are persons with a special training and
experience in servicing and testing industrial
trucks and familiar with the applicable worker’s
protection rules, safety regulations, directives
and generally recognised rules of the art
(DIN and VDE standards, technical rules of
members of the EU or EEA agreements) so
that they can give a qualified assessment
of the safe operating condition of industrial
trucks.
Operation of industrial trucks in plant area
Many plant areas are so-called limited public
traffic areas. In this sense, we would like to
advise you to check your company liability
insurance coverage, to ensure that possible
claims for damages caused by your truck
in limited public traffic areas in relation to
third parties are included in the insurance
coverage.
Regulations
Safety inspection
According to accident prevention regulations,
the truck must be inspected at least once a
year for proper condition by trained personnel.
Please contact your authorised dealer in this
regard.
