# Directive 2006/42/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 May 2006 on machinery, and amending Directive 95/16/EC (recast) (Text with EEA relevance), Division 6.3.2: Risk of persons falling from the carrier

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

The carrier must not tilt to an extent which creates a risk of the occupants falling, including when the machinery and carrier are moving.
Where the carrier is designed as a work station, provision must be made to ensure stability and to prevent hazardous movements.
If the measures referred to in section 1.5.15 are not adequate, carriers must be fitted with a sufficient number of suitable anchorage points for the number of persons permitted on the carrier. The anchorage points must be strong enough for the use of personal protective equipment against falls from a height.
Any trapdoor in floors or ceilings or side doors must be designed and constructed in such a way as to prevent inadvertent opening and must open in a direction that obviates any risk of falling, should they open unexpectedly.
