4.4.2
Job site
• The operator is responsible for third parties.
• Before starting work, familiarize yourself with the job site. This applies
to, for example:
– Obstacles in the work area and vehicle travel area.
– Any barriers separating the job site from public roads.
– Load-bearing capacity of the soil.
– Existing overhead and underground lines.
– Special operating conditions (e.g. dust, steam, smoke, asbestos).
• The operator must know the maximum dimensions of the vehicle and
the attachment.
• Maintain a safe distance (e.g. from buildings, edges of building pits).
• When working in buildings or in enclosed areas, pay attention to:
– Ceiling heights and passage heights.
– Width of the entrances and passages.
– Maximum ceiling load and maximum ground load.
– Sufficient room ventilation (e.g. danger of carbon monoxide pois-
oning).
• Use existing visual aids to stay aware of the danger zone.
• In conditions of darkness and poor visibility, switch on existing work
lights and ensure that motorists are not blinded by these lights.
• If the existing lights of the vehicle are not sufficient for performing
work safely, ensure additional lighting of the job site.
• Hot vehicle parts and exhaust gases increase the risk of fire.
4.4.3
Danger zone
• The danger zone is the area in which persons are endangered by the
movements of the vehicle, the attachment or the load.
• The danger zone also includes the area that can be reached by fall-
ing load, a falling device or ejected parts.
• Extend the danger zone sufficiently in the immediate vicinity of build-
ings, scaffolds or other elements of construction.
• Seal off the danger zone should it not be possible to keep a sufficient
safety distance.
• When persons are in the danger zone, stop work immediately.
4.4.4
