3.6.7 Working in dangerous conditions with risk of falling masses and objects
 FALLING OBJECTS
During jobs in places where there is a risk of falling, rebound or intrusion of objects, which can hit the operator or enter the cab:
• Assemble the adequate guards for operator protection.
• Always close the windows.
• Always make sure that the operators in the vicinity are at a safe distance and cannot be hit by rebounding or falling objects.
• Pay attention to collapsing walls, landslides, falling material or objects of the equipment installed, which could hit the cab,
the structure of the guard or windows, causing damage to the vehicle and operator.
• Do not work under overhang; this could give way and fall onto the vehicle.
• Do not load or fi ll the equipment installed excessively or transport loads that could escape or fall to the ground.
 ATTENTION
In the event of risk from falling objects the helmet must be used.
3.6.8 Work in proximity of electric lines
 HIGH VOLTAGE
Before working in the vicinity of overhead electric lines, check that the safety distance is suffi cient with respect to the Standards in
force in the country the vehicle is used. In all cases, never work near to electric lines at distances less than those stated in the table
below or the minimum distances indicated by the Standards in force in the country where the vehicle is used.
Wet land increases the area in which persons could be electrocuted.
Working or parking the vehicle too close to electric cables leads to the risk of electrocution or serious injury.
Engage a person on the ground to signal excessive vicinity to electric cables.
If work must be performed in the vicinity of electric cables, do not allow anyone to approach the vehicle. To prepare for any
possible emergency situation, wear rubber gloves and shoes, cover the seat with a rubber sheet and pay attention not to touch
the sheet with unprotected parts of the body.
 DANGER
In order to prevent electrocution if the vehicle should hit an electric cable, the operator must remain inside
the driver’s cab until it has been con rmed that the distribution of electricity has ceased.
 DANGER
If jobs must be performed in the vicinity of overhead electricity lines, refer to the table below for the distance
to be kept from the same. The table is given in Legislative Decree 81/08 Attachment IX. The table is only valid
if the vehicle is used on Italian territory. Refer to the Reference Standards of the country of use of the vehicle.
