WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY?
Mobile work equipment with its own drive system may only be operated by workers who have received adequate training in the safe operation of this work equipment (Codex book IV, title 3)
Considered as a safety function is any workstation where work equipment is used, where motor vehicles, cranes, overhead cranes, hoisting devices of any kind are operated (Codex book I, title 4)
The purpose of the safety and health signage is to draw attention quickly and in an easily understandable way to objects, activities and situations that may cause certain hazards. (Codex book III, title 6, annexes 1-9)
