Safety inspections
NOTE
Observe the national regulations for your
country!
Trucks with particle filters
Trucks with particle filters (variant) may be
operated in completely or partially enclosed
working areas.
DANGER
Risk to health from exhaust gases!
Exhaust gases from internal combustion engines
are harmful to your health. In particular, the soot
particles contained in the diesel exhaust gas can
cause cancer.
When the internal combustion engine is running,
there is a risk of poisoning from the CO, CH and
NOx components contained in the exhaust gas.
Modern exhaust gas treatment systems (e.g.
catalytic converters, particle filters or comparable
systems) can clean exhaust gases in a way that
reduces the health hazard and risk of poisoning
when operating the truck.
– Observe the national laws and regulations when
using trucks with an internal combustion engine
in entirely or partially enclosed working areas.
– Always ensure sufficient ventilation.
The operating company must ensure that the
following requirements are met:
• Usage must be
reported to the responsible
occupationa
l health and safety authorities
• Operating instructions must be displayed in
the working areas
• Danger areas should be confined and
indicated by appropriate warning and safety
signs
• Employees must
be made aware of dangers
and protective
measures
• The particle filter must be checked and
serviced every 12 months or after every
1000 operating hours. The exhaust-gas
check must be carried out by a competent
person and must be recorded in writing
