Safety 2
Fastening, guiding and removing loads
• Follow the applicable specific regulations for fastening, guiding and
removing a load.
• Wear protective clothing and equipment when fastening, guiding and
removing loads (for example a hard hat, safety glasses, protective
gloves, safety boots).
• Do not place lifting and fastening gear over sharp edges or rotating
parts. Loads must be fastened so as to prevent them from slipping or
falling.
• Move loads only on horizontal, level and firm ground.
• Move loads close to the ground.
• In order to avoid oscillating movements of loads:
- Perform smooth, slow movements with the vehicle.
- Use cables to guide the load (do not use hands to guide).
- Bear in mind the weather conditions (for example the wind force).
- Keep a minimum safety distance from objects.
• The operator may allow the load to be fastened and removed only if
the vehicle and its work equipment are not being moved.
• Danger zones must not overlap with the work zones of other vehicles.
