Reaching upwards
If there is a low risk from hazard zone, then the height of the hazard zone, h, shall be 2 500 mm or more. If there is a high risk from the hazard zone, then:
-
The height of the hazard zone, h, shall be 2 700 mm or more.
-
Other safety measures must be taken

Reaching over protective structures
The following symbols can be used:
-
Height of hazard zone
-
Height of protective structure
-
Horizontal safety distance to hazard zone.
The table below (high risk situations) does not consider protection structures with height <1000 mm, because they don’t restrict suffi body movement.
Protective structures with height < 1400 mm should not be used without additional security measures.
ln low risk situations are conceivable protective structures of height H 1000 mm. If safety distance is expressed in the table below with a dash, then you must use the distances according to the size of the net, with mesh 32x67 wire 03 or 40x40 wire 03 04, the minimum safety distance is 200 mm.
