'HEALTH
& SAFETY' REGULATIONS
The ' Provision
and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998', and 'European Council Directive
95/63/EC' concerning the minimum safety and health requirements for the
use of work equipment by workers at work specify the need for a 'restraining
system' (i.e. Seat Belt) in conjunction with Roll Over Protection Systems
(ROPS) where there is a risk of anyone carried being crushed between the
machine and the ground in an overturn. |
|
TYPES OF VEHICLE
AND REQUIREMENTS
Mobile
Work Equipment (i.e. Forklifts, Industrial / Construction / Agricultural
/ Horticultural / Forestry Vehicles).
- manufactured since 5/12/98 shall have a 'restraining system'.
- manufactured prior to 5/12/98 shall have a 'restraining system'
fitted by 5/12/2002.
Note: Lease &
Hire equipment is treated as 'New equipment' at each Lease or Hire.
|
ACCIDENTS
Overturning
accidents are not confined to steep slopes. Fifty per cent of investigated
overturning accidents occurred on slopes of 10° or less and half of
these on slopes of 5° or less. |
|
RISK ASSESSMENT
The Regulations
require Owners/Operators to carry out a 'Risk Assessment' of their Work
Equipment and provide a restraining system where anyone being carried
is at risk .As
25% of investigated overturning accidents are on slopes of 5° or
less Owners/Operators will find it extremely difficult to justify not
providing restraints.
