Article R4323-46 of the French Labour Code

When it exceeds a height set by joint order of the ministers responsible for labour and agriculture, the use in the open air of work equipment used for lifting non-guided loads ceases as soon as the deterioration of weather conditions is likely to compromise the safety of their operation and expose any person to a risk.
In this case, the employer must equip himself with the means and information to enable him to be aware of changes in weather conditions.
Protective measures are taken, in particular to prevent work equipment from tipping over.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article R4323-46


Lorsqu’il dépasse une hauteur fixée par arrêté conjoint des ministres chargés du travail et de l’agriculture, l’emploi à l’air libre d’un équipement de travail servant au levage de charges non guidées cesse dès que la dégradation des conditions météorologiques est susceptible de compromettre la sécurité de leur fonctionnement et d’exposer toute personne à un risque.
Dans ce cas, l’employeur se dote des moyens et des informations lui permettant d’avoir connaissance de l’évolution des conditions météorologiques.
Des mesures de protection sont prises, notamment pour empêcher le renversement de l’équipement de travail.
