5.4. Danger area
All persons must keep clear of the danger area around construction machines. The danger area of the
dumper is the area in which persons could be injured by working movements of the machine, its
attachments or tools, by suspended or attached loads, or by dropping loads or attachments. The machine
operator must only start the machine, if no persons are standing in the danger area. In the event of a risk
of injury, the machine operator must warn persons (visual or audible signal). If a person does not leave
the danger area after a warning signal has been given, the machine operator must stop the machine. If
the view of the machine operator (travel path, working area) is obstructed, he/she must engage a guide or
banksman or cordon off the travel path/work area with a fixed installation.
5.5. Safety distance
To prevent damage and injury (e.g. from crushing), a safety distance of minimum 0.50 m must be kept
between the machine and other objects, such as buildings, formwork, excavation banks, scaffolding and
other machinery. If it is not possible to keep this safety distance, the area between the machine's working
range and the adjacent object must be cordoned off.
