The manufacturer shall not be liable for acci-
dents involving the industrial truck caused by
the failure of the operating company to comply
with these regulations either intentionally or
due to negligence.
Danger to employees
According to the German workplace safety or-
dinance (BetrSichVO) and labour protection
law (ArbSchG), the operating company must
determine and assess hazards during opera-
tion, and establish the occupational health and
safety measures required for employees (Betr-
SichVO). The operating company must there-
fore draw up appropriate operating instruc-
tions (§ 6 ArbSchG) and make them available
to the driver. A responsible person must be
appointed.
Construction and equipment of the industrial
truck correspond to the Machinery Directive
2006/42/EC and they are therefore labelled
with the CE mark. These elements are there-
fore not included in the hazard assessment.
Attachments possess their own CE labelling
and likewise are not included for that reason.
The operating company must, however, select
the type and equipment of the industrial trucks
so as to comply with the local provisions for
deployment.
The result must be documented (§ 6
ArbSchG). In the case of applications involv-
ing similar hazard situations, it is permitted
to summarise the results. This overview is de-
signed to help to meet the requirements of this
regulation. The overview specifies the primary
hazards that, in the event of non-compliance,
are the most frequent causes of accidents. If
other major hazards are present as a result
of the specific operating conditions, these haz-
ards must also be taken into consideration.
The conditions of use for industrial trucks are
broadly similar in many plants, so that the haz-
ards can be summarised in one overview. Ob-
serve the information provided by the relevant
employers' liability insurance association on
this subject.
