Danger zone definition

•
The danger zone is the area inside, or in the vicinity of working equipment that poses a hazard or
potential hazard to the health of persons located within this area.
•
Lifting the load or transporting may result in the load and the lifting device falling or being lowered.
Therefore, the area directly below the lifting device is essentially a danger zone.
•
During horizontal transport, note that lifting, horizontal acceleration and braking of the load may cause
it to rotate, tilt or swing. The vicinity of the load is therefore a danger zone.
•
It is also necessary for the rigger to maintain a sufficiently safe distance when guiding the load (always
use the handle to guide the load).
