Article R4324-33 of the French Labour Code
November 3, 2023
Structures to protect against overturning, tipping over or falling objects can be integrated into a cab.
Structures to protect against overturning, tipping over or falling objects can be integrated into a cab.
If the mobile work equipment is not fitted with anchorage points enabling it to be fitted with a protective structure, measures are taken to prevent the risk of the equipment overturning or tipping over or of objects falling, such as limiting its use and speed and arranging traffic and work areas.
If there is a risk that a ride-on worker will be crushed between parts of the mobile work equipment and the ground when the equipment overturns or tips over, the equipment must be fitted with a system for restraining ride-on workers in their seats, unless the state of the art and the actual conditions of use prohibit this.
Mobile work equipment with ride-on workers is fitted out in such a way as to minimise the risks to these workers during movement, in particular the risks of contact with the wheels, tracks or other moving parts involved in the movement.
Where the inadvertent blocking of energy transmission elements between mobile work equipment and its accessories or trailers may give rise to specific risks, this work equipment must be fitted or equipped in such a way that this blocking can be remedied. Where it cannot be prevented, all measures shall be taken to avoid harmful consequences for workers.
If the power transmission elements between mobile work equipment are likely to become dirty and deteriorate as they drag along the ground, they are fitted with fixings.
Self-propelled mobile work equipment is fitted with devices to prevent it from being started by unauthorised persons.
Self-propelled mobile work equipment is fitted with a braking and stopping device. Where safety so requires, particularly in the case of equipment with a heavily loaded braking system, an emergency device operated by easily accessible controls or by automatic systems enables braking and stopping in the event of failure of the main device.
Mobile work equipment comprising parts which, during work, exceed the clearance gauge must, during transport or movement, be fitted with the necessary devices to hold these parts in a safe position. These devices enable the driver to check without difficulty, before moving or transporting the equipment, that the components concerned are actually held in a safe position.
Where the driver’s direct field of vision is insufficient, self-propelled mobile work equipment is fitted with auxiliary devices to improve visibility. When this equipment is used at night or in dark places, it is fitted with lighting appropriate to the work to be carried out.
