Danger to employees
The operating company must identify and
evaluate the dangers involved in using the
truck. It must also establish which occupation-
al health and safety measures are required to
protect employees. Appropriate operating in-
structions must be drafted and provided for
the driver accordingly. A person responsible
for health and safety must be appointed.
Construction and equipment of the truck corre-
spond to the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC
and they are therefore identified with the CE
symbol. As a result, these factors are not in-
cluded in the hazard assessment; nor are the
attachments, which have their own CE label-
ling. The operating company must, however,
select the type and equipment of the truck so
as to comply with the local provisions for de-
ployment.
The results must be published. In the case of
truck deployment involving similar hazard sit-
uations it is permitted to summarise the re-
sults. This overview (see chapter entitled
"Overview of hazards and countermeasures")
is intended to facilitate compliance with the
conditions of these regulations. The overview
indicates the main causes of accidents in the
event of non-compliance. If other major opera-
tional hazards are involved, they must also be
taken into consideration.
The working conditions for the trucks are
largely similar for many sites. The dangers
can therefore be summarised in a single over-
view. It is recommended that the information
provided by the relevant employers' liability in-
surance association be observed in this re-
spect.
