3.12 Guides
Guides must be easily recognizable, e. g. by means of reflective clothing. They
must remain within the machine operator’s field of vision.
While guiding the machine, guides shall not be given other jobs which may
distract them from their task.
3.13 Use under the danger of falling objects
If there is danger of falling objects use the machine only if the driver's seat is
protected by a canopy FOPS. A front guard must be employed if there is a
risk of materials breaking through into the cab.
In front of walls e. g. of stacked materials, the machine must be operated and
positioned in such a way that the driver's seat and entry to the driver's seat
are not situated on the side facing the wall.
Only use the machine for demolition work if no persons are endangered and
if the machine is equipped with protective roof (FOPS) and front protection
mounted to the operator's stand. See regulations book "Demolition work"
(BGI 665) published by the German Tiefbau-Berufsgenossenschaft (Civil
Engineering Employer’s Liability Insurance Association).
3.14 Working in the vicinity of underground power
lines
Before commencing excavating work using the machine, it must be
determined whether any underground power lines are present in the intended
working zone which may present a danger to persons.
If underground power lines are present, their exact position and course must
be determined in consultation with the proprietor or operator of the lines, and
the necessary safety precautions decided and implemented.
Before starting any earth work clearly mark the route of lines in the
construction site area under supervision. If the position of lines cannot be
determined, search ditches must be dug - manually, if need be.
In case of unexpected detection or damaging of underground power lines or
their protective coverings stop work immediately and inform the supervisor.
