If there are transport fixtures provided for the machine or its individual
components, only these should be used. The machine/components
must be properly secured during transport. The transport vehicle and
machine must be marked to conform with the road traffic regulations
in the country concerned if they are to use the public highway.
Please also observe the
(Driving P. 39)
section.
2.4 Mobile machines
2.4.1 Setup site
Site management must prepare and assign the set-up site. It is the
machine operator who takes responsibility for setting up the machine
safely. The machine operator must inspect the setup site proposed by
site management and must refuse to set the machine up at the site of
operations if there are any doubts regarding safety.
As machine operator, you must familiarise yourself with the working
area and surroundings before work is begun. The working area and
surroundings include, in particular, obstacles in the work and travel‐
ling areas, the load-bearing capacity of the supporting ground and
any barriers separating the construction site from public roads.
The setup site must have sufficient lighting to ensure safe operation
of the machine. Ensure that the setup site is adequately lit.
Do not set up the machine in areas where equipment may fall down.
Incidents of overlapping with the working areas of other machines
(particularly cranes, other placing booms, etc.) should be avoided as
far as possible. If this is not possible, special care and attention is re‐
quired when setting up and operating machinery. If necessary, you
must use a signaller.
You must also check the approach route to the site where the ma‐
chine will be set up. If you are unsure whether the approach route is
suitable, prepare the route before work is started. It is especially nec‐
essary to walk the approach route once in darkness and at dusk or
dawn. You should repeat this exercise again before leaving the con‐
struction site.
Always ask for a signaller if you need to reverse. If necessary, have
the approach route closed off or secured by signallers. Have any ma‐
terials or equipment that hinder your approach removed.
