Description and assessment of residual risks
6.1.
Description of residual risks
Residual risk results from incorrect actions of the big-bag fertiliser suspended loader
operator.
The greatest hazards arise when bystanders (especially children) and animals remain within
the hazardous areas of the loader at work. The level of risk increases when warning labels are
ignored!
Extreme hazards include:
-
remaining under the raised loader arm and the big-bag at work;
-
humans and animals staying in the loader's work area;
-
servicing and repairing the loader with the tractor engine running and the loader raised;
-
use of cracked or deformed hydraulic lines;
-
failure to keep a safe distance from power lines during work;
-
controlling the loader while remaining outside of the driver's cab;
-
operating the loader without verifying the tractor's parameters (i.e. installation of
counterweight).
The hazards do not occur when the operating instructions and safety instructions are
followed.
