6. SPECIFIC RISKS
Loss of stability
If the tower is placed on a sloping ground or
a surface that is not completely flat, there is a
risk of losing stability which would lead to a
90º overturn with risk of serious injuries for
workers.
Objects dropping to a different level
As an elevation equipment and due to its
working height, there is a serious risk of
raised objects dropping to a different level,
either due to securing mechanism failure,
part wear, dirt, etc., or incorrect use of the
ground support tower (E.g.: for goods over
the maximum load allowed). Sudden drop
of raised goods implies a serious risk for the
worker.
7. PREVENTION SYSTEMS
About braking system failure
Equip with winch according to BGV D8 y
2006/42/CE directive.
About loss of stability
Maintenance of ground support tower
stability must basically be as per the following
measures:
• Professionalization, training and risk
awareness of ground support tower users.
• Equip with different safety devices and
advices from the manufacturer to reinforce
stability, as:
- Specify maximum load that the ground
support tower can raise.
About objects falling to a different level,
knocks and/or contusions with objects
The consequences of these risks can be
reduced limiting an access area to the ground
support tower and with a correct training of
personnel.
