Hazard zone
2.5 Hazard zone
No one may stay in the hazard zone during operation of the machine. The opera-
tor must immediately shut down the machine in case of any threatening hazard and
request the persons concerned to leave the hazard zone immediately. He may only
restart the machine when there are no more persons in the hazard zone.
Anyone, who wants to approach the machine during its operation, must clearly com-
municate his/her intentions to the operator (e.g. by calling or by agreed hand sig-
nals) to avoid misunderstanding. The hazard zone shown in the following drawing
applies as soon as the machine is started up. As soon as a person enters this zone,
the machine must be immediately shut down and the person concerned must be
requested to leave the hazard zone immediately. The machine may only be restarted
when no one stays in the hazard zone.
Only specially authorised personnel may enter the hazard areas for maintenance or
inspection work after exact agreement with the operator. Thoroughly inform these
persons of the potential risk and dangers before they enter the hazard zones. All
activities between the operator and said personnel shall be thoroughly agreed prior
to the start of such activities. All maintenance, adjusting and monitoring work on
this machine shall, to the technically possible extent, always be performed with the
machine standing totally still and the diesel engine shut down. In this case, the opera-
tor of the machine is responsible for ensuring that unauthorised persons do not oper-
ate the machine either inadvertently or contrary to prior agreements.
