3.00 Danger zones

There are danger zones around all construction machines. A
danger zone is any area where your safety is at risk or could
be placed at risk.
Increased vigilance and common sense are necessary to pre-
vent risks in this area. This situation means that the operator
and all other people must observe the work with increased at-
tention.
There must be no persons in the machine's hazard area dur-
ing paving and transport.
Examples of hazard areas are e.g. areas in front of, beside,
behind, or under the machine that cannot be monitored by
the machine operator.
People immediately in front of or behind wheels/tracks are
particularly at risk.
Depending on machine operation or your task (e.g. mainte-
nance work) further danger zones can be present or develop.
