Safety instructions
5.4
5.5
Earthmoving machinery must be kept sufficiently far away from the edge of quarries,
trenches,
stockpiles and slopes to prevent any risk of overturning.
Earthmoving machinery must be secured against inadvertent movement or slippage
when working
close to the edges of excavations, shafts, ditches, trenches and slopes.
Operation
General
Machine operators must be appointed by the contractor to operate or service the
earthmoving
machine.
Operating devices (adjusting components) may be activated only by the operator or
from the
operator’s console.
The steps and areas provided must be used for access to the machine. They must be
kept in a
non-slip state.
For earthmoving machinery fitted with quick-change devices for mounting and
discharging the
operating device, of which locking mechanism is not clearly visible from the operator’s
workplace
(design, soiling), the following additional safety measures are essential:
- The firm fit of the operating device at the connection of the quick-change device must
be
controlled directly by the operator or another person.
- If this is not feasible, the operating device must be lifted only to such an extent that
the firm fit
can be checked by rearward tilting and dumping.
All persons must keep out of the hazard zone during this test
run.

6.2.1
Transport of persons
Apart from the machine operator, no persons may be transported on earthmoving
machinery
unless special places have been provided for this purpose by the manufacturer.
These special places must be equipped with fixed seats and securing devices to
prevent
persons from falling from the earthmoving machine.
6.2.2 No one may mount or alight from earthmoving machinery except with the prior
consent of the
machine operator and when the machine is stationary.
