Division 3.1.4

Mobile work equipment with ride-on workers must be designed to restrict, under actual conditions of use, the risks arising from work equipment roll-over:

• by a protection structure designed to ensure that the equipment does not tilt by more than a quarter turn, or

• by a structure giving sufficient clearance around the ride-on workers if the tilting movement can continue beyond a quarter turn, or

• by some other device of equivalent effect.

These protection structures may be an integral part of the work equipment.

These protection structures are not required when the work equipment is stabilised during operation or where the design makes roll-over impossible.

Where there is a risk of a ride-on worker being crushed between parts of the work equipment and the ground, should the equipment roll over, a restraining system for the ride-on workers must be installed.
