There are specific risks of accidents associated with maintenance,
inspection and repair work, as protective devices must be removed
to perform certain activities, for example. In particular, other risks
that may arise during maintenance, inspection and repair work are
stated below.
Danger
Risk of injury due to operating materials (e.g. hydraulic fluid) coming
into contact with the skin. Avoid contact with operating materials. Al-
ways wear personal protective equipment. Observe the safety data
sheets provided by the manufacturer of the operating materials.
Danger
Risk of burns due to hot operating materials and surfaces (e.g. en-
gine, radiator and frame). Allow hot operating materials and surfaces
to cool first. Always wear personal protective equipment. Cover hot
surfaces with heat-resistant materials.
Danger
Risk of injury due to accidental machine start-up. Before performing
any maintenance, inspection or repair work, shut down the machine
and secure it to prevent accidental start-up (e.g. locking control
equipment). If this is not possible, enlist the help of a second person
to prevent the machine from starting unexpectedly.
Danger
Injuries caused by the machine rolling away as a result of the brake,
support legs or chocks becoming released.
