In the Federal Republic of Germany the Ger-
man Law on Health and Safety at Work (Arb-
SchG) states that it is up to the Employer to
assess which hazards are associated with
the work of employees and which Health and
Safety measures are required (§ 5 ArbSchG).
The result must be documented (§ 6 Arb-
SchG). In the case of industrial truck deploy-
ments involving similar hazard situations it is
permitted to summarise the results . In coun-
tries outside the Federal Republic of Germany
the country-specific regulations must be ob-
served. With the list we are helping you to
comply with these regulations. The construc-
tion and equipment of industrial trucks comply
with the Machinery Directive 98/37/EC and
are identified by the CE mark accordingly.
This means that they do not fall under the
scope involved in the assessment of hazards,
and nor do attachments due to their own CE
marking . The operator must however select

as to comply with the local provisions for de-
ployment.
In order to ensure the safe usage of industrial
trucks we not only supply every industrial
truck with a copy of the operating manual but
also with the leaflet of the VDMA (German
Engineering Federation) specifying the rules
for the proper usage of industrial trucks "Rules
for the Proper Use of Industrial Trucks".
The list specifies key hazards which are most
frequently the cause of accidents in the event
of non-compliance. If other major hazards are
involved at a specific plant , they must be listed
additionally.
In many plants the conditions of use for
industrial trucks are by and large similar so
that the hazards can be summarised in one
list. The pronouncements of the employers'
