WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY?
Mobile work equipment with its own drive may only be operated by workers who have received adequate training for the safe operation of this work equipment (Codex book IV, title 3)
Any workstation where work equipment is used, where motor vehicles, cranes, overhead cranes, hoisting devices of any kind are operated, is regarded as a safety function wordt gezien elke werkpost waar gebruik wordt gemaakt van arbeidsmiddelen, waar motorvoertuigen, kranen, rolbruggen, hijstoestellen van welke aard ook bestuurd worden (Codex book I, title 4)
