Safety instructions
6.4.1 The machine operator must not swing the operating devices across occupied driving,
operating
and working places of other machines unless they are secured with fall-over protective
structures
(FOPS).
If the required protection above the driver’s cab is not present, the driver of that
vehicle must
leave the driver’s stand when swinging across it is necessary.
The vehicles must be loaded in such a way that they are not overloaded and cannot
lose any
material while being driven. They must be loaded from the lowest possible height.
The unloading locations must be designed to ensure that extensive reversing is
avoided as fast
as possible.
Earthmoving machinery must not be operated at dumping sites unless appropriate
measures have
been taken to prevent inadvertent movement or overturning.
Marshallers
Marshallers must be clearly recognisable, e.g. through special clothing. They must be
within the
visual range of the machine operator.
During their marshalling activity, marshallers must not be given other tasks which
might distract
them from their functions.
Deployment with risk of falling objects
When there is a risk of heavy objects falling, earthmoving machines must not be used
unless their
operator’s stand is fitted with a protective roof (FOPS); in the case of excavators a
protective
windscreen (FGPS) must also be present.
Close to earth and rock walls, excavators should be set up and operated in such a way
that the
operator’s stand and the steps leading to it are on the side of the earthmoving machine
away from
the wall.
Demolition work must not be done with earthmoving machinery unless it is assured
that persons
are not at risk.
Prior to carrying out demolition work with excavators, e.g. demolishing with demolition
pendulums,
the weight of the pendulum must be coordinated with the load capacity of the machine
and the
boom length.
The highest point of the operating device of the earthmoving machine should be
above the
component to be demolished.
