2.5 Lifting gear applications
Requirements
• Have loads fastened and the operator guided by a
qualified person having specific knowledge of lifting
gear applications and the usual hand signals.
• The person giving instructions to the operator must
stay in visual contact with the operator when fastening,
guiding or removing the load (maintain visual contact).
• If this not be possible, ask one more person with the
same qualifications to guide.
• The operator may not leave his seat as long as the
load is raised.
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.
