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.
Remotely controlled self-propelled mobile work equipment must be fitted with a device enabling it to stop automatically when it leaves the field of control. If it is liable to collide with workers, such equipment or equipment operating without a driver must be fitted with protective devices or guards against such risks, unless other appropriate devices are in place to control the risk of collision.
In the event of simultaneous movement of several pieces of self-propelled mobile work equipment running on rails, these pieces of equipment are fitted with means to reduce the consequences of a possible collision.
Self-propelled mobile work equipment which, by itself or because of its trailers or load, presents a fire hazard, must be fitted with fire-fighting equipment, unless the place of use is equipped with such equipment in sufficiently close proximity.

The equipment is installed or equipped in such a way as to prevent any risk of contact between persons present in the vicinity of the installation and the moving carrier or any other moving part. As soon as a guard is opened, devices must prevent any dangerous movement of the carrier. The equipment is installed or equipped in such a way as to eliminate any risk of a load falling…
Checks and maintenance operations are carried out from a safe location allowing easy and secure access to the components concerned, by opening a guard. A stop device allows safe access to the passenger compartment. To prevent the risk of being crushed between the carrier and any fixed component, personnel working below or above the carrier are provided with a free space or refuge enabling them to access and remain in…
The equipment is installed or equipped in such a way as to prevent any risk of a person falling into the shaft when the carrier is not at the landing, by means of guards fitted with a device preventing any dangerous movement of the carrier until they are effectively closed and locked.
