Article R4534-56 of the French Labour Code

Openings or differences in level in the floor of a gallery, narrow passages, lowered vaults and any obstacles which may present a danger or hindrance to the movement of workers, vehicles or convoys are suitably indicated by appropriate means, such as position lights or reflective devices of equivalent effectiveness.
In the absence of sufficient lighting, warning devices are provided, such as dangling chains and wires, flexible brushes, the contact of which can alert workers to the presence of an obstacle.

Article R4534-56


Les ouvertures ou dénivellations existant dans le sol d’une galerie, les passages resserrés, les abaissements de voûte ainsi que tous obstacles pouvant présenter un danger ou une gêne pour la circulation des travailleurs, des véhicules ou des convois sont convenablement signalés par des moyens appropriés, tels que la pose de feux de position ou de dispositifs réfléchissants d’une efficacité équivalente.
A défaut d’un éclairage suffisant, des dispositifs avertisseurs sont prévus, tels que chaînettes et fils pendants, balais souples, dont le contact permet de signaler aux travailleurs la présence d’un obstacle.
