12.2.2 Safe distance from slopes and pits
Erect the crane at a safe distance from slopes and pits. The distance also
depends on the type of ground if the slopes and pits are not supported.
As a rule of thumb
If you are working on
non-cohesive or filled-in
ground, the safety distance (a) must be twice
as large as the pit depth (b).
a = 2 x b
If you are working on
cohesive, undisturbed
ground, the safe distance (a) must be as great
as the depth of the pit (b).
a = 1 x b
The safe distance is measured from the base
of the pit (3).
In addition to this the safe distance (d) between
the outrigger pad (1) or substructure (2) and
the edge of the pit (4) must always be more
than 2.00 m (6.6 ft).
