NOTE
Please note the definition of the following re-
sponsible persons: "operating company" and
"driver".
The design and equipment of the truck comply
with the standards and directives required for
CE conformity. The design and equipment al-
so comply with the standards and directives
necessary for the UKCA compliance that is re-
quired in the United Kingdom. The design and
equipment are therefore not part of the re-
quired scope of the hazard assessment. The
same applies to attachments with their own
CE labelling and UKCA labelling. The operat-
ing company must, however, select the type
and equipment of the trucks so as to comply
with the local provisions for deployment.
The result of the hazard assessment must be
documented (§ 6 ArbSchG). In the case of
truck applications involving similar hazard sit-
uations, the results may be summarised. Re-
fer to the chapter entitled "Overview of haz-
ards and countermeasures", which provides
advice on complying with this regulation. The
overview specifies the primary hazards that, in
the event of non-compliance, are the most fre-
quent causes of accidents. If other major haz-
ards are present as a result of the specific op-
erating conditions, these hazards must also be
taken into consideration.
The conditions of use for trucks are broadly
similar in many plants, so the hazards can be
summarised in one overview. Observe the in-
formation provided by the relevant employers'
liability insurance association on this subject.
