2 Safety and Prevention of Accidents
TC29

2.5 Danger zone
No one is to enter the danger zone of earth-moving
machines.
The danger zone encompasses the area
around the earth-moving machine in
which persons may be injured by
movements of the earth-moving machine
during operation, its work implements
and attachments, or by swinging out or
falling loads.
The machine operator is only to work the earth-
moving machine when no one is in the danger
zone.
The machine operator must give a warning signal
to persons who may be in danger.
The machine operator shall stop work with the
earth-moving machine if anyone remains in the
danger zone despite the warning.
To ensure no danger of crushing, a sufficient
safety distance (min. 0.5 m) must be kept from
solid objects, e.g. buildings, excavation slopes,
scaffolding, other machines, etc.
If the above safety distance cannot be maintained,
the area between solid objects and the working
zone of the earth-moving machine must be blocked
off.
If conditions are such that the machine operator’s
view of the driving and working zone is restricted,
he must be guided or the driving and working zone
must be marked by a solid barricade.
2.6 Transport of persons
The transport of persons on the machine is
forbidden.
2.7 Stability
•
The earth-moving machine must be used,
driven and operated in such a manner that its
stability against overturning is ensured at all
times.
•
The machine operator must drive at speeds
which are suitable for local conditions.
•
The permitted payload of the earth-moving
machine shall not be exceeded.
•
The earth-moving machine must remain at a
sufficient distance from the edges of quarries,
pits, mounds and slopes to ensure there is no
risk of falling.
•
Earth-moving machines must be secured so
that they cannot roll or slip when in the vicinity
of excavations, shafts, ditches, pits and slopes.
