2.5 Danger to life

2.5.1 Danger to life when working on railway tracks

During track construction work, there is always a risk of people being hit by passing trains, causing extremely severe injuries.

•Before working on the track bed, always ensure that the track has been closed off to permit that work. Never work on a track

that is open for rail traffic.

•Always proceed with great caution whenever the construction site is close to railway tracks open to rail traffic.

•Always set down equipment and materials in a place where they cannot collide with other rail vehicles.

2.5.2 Risk to life from electric shock

There is a risk of serious injury from electric shock when working on live parts and cables. This can lead to ventricular fibrillation,

cardiac arrest or respiratory paralysis with a fatal outcome.

•Never use the machine if a conductor rail at the work site is live.

•Never use this machine on a conductor rail that is electrically live at the time.

•Always ensure that there is no risk of electric shock.

2.5.3 Risk of injury

Risk of injury from the crushing of body parts

If people's limbs are under the grinding wheel or under the guide system when working with the machine, there is a risk of serious

injury from crushing possibly involving broken bones or even the severing of entire limbs.

•When operating this machine, never place hands or feet below the grinding head or under the guide system.

•Always wear sturdy protective work shoes of protection class S3.

•Always wear work gloves.

•Everyone except for the operator must maintain a safe distance of at least 5 metres from the machine while it is switched on.

Risk of injury from projectile gravel and dust when cleaning the air filter

Working with compressed air entails the risk of dust particles and splinters getting into the eyes. This can injure them or may even

cause blindness. Always wear safety goggles when working with compressed air and in the vicinity of others working with it.

Risk of injury from falling, slipping and sliding

When working on the track bed, there is a risk of slipping and falling on the gravel, causing injuries such as contusions or even

broken bones.

•When working with the machine, always maintain a firm stance.

•Do not work with the machine on a gradient of more than 10°.

•Wear work gloves in protection class S3.

Risk of damage to hearing

The A-weighted emission sound pressure level LPA at the workplace can be up to 74 dBA and the A-weighted emission noise level

LWA at the workplace can be up to 85 dBA. Exposure to noise can damage hearing and lead to short-term hearing loss and mental

overload. Always wear ear defenders when working with this machine.
