Danger to employees

According to the German Ordinance on Indus-
trial Safety and Health (BetrSichV) and labour
protection law (ArbSchG), the operating com-
pany must determine and assess hazards
during operation, and establish the labour
protection measures required for employ-
ees (BetrSichVO). The operating company
must therefore draw up appropriate operating
instructions (§ 6 ArbSchG) and make them
available to the driver. A responsible person
must be appointed.
NOTE
Please observe the definition of the following
responsible persons: "operating company"
and "driver".
The construction and equipment of the
truck correspond to the Machinery Directive
2006/42/EC and are therefore marked with
CE labelling. These elements are therefore
not included in the hazard assessment. At-
tachments possess their own CE labelling and
likewise are not included for that reason. The
operating company must, however, select the
type and equipment of the trucks so as to com-
ply with the local provisions for deployment.
The result must be documented (§ 6 Arb-
SchG). In the case of truck applications involv-
ing similar hazard situations, the results may
be summarised. This overview (see chapter
"Overview of hazards and countermeasures")
provides help on complying with this regula-
tion. The overview specifies the main hazards
that are the most frequent cause of accidents
in the event of non-compliance. If other major
operational hazards are involved, they must
also be taken into consideration.
The conditions of use for trucks are broadly
similar in many plants, so the hazards can
be summarised in one overview. Observe
the information provided by the relevant
employers' liability insurance association on
this subject.
