Reference table upper limbs

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

Hazard zone

Protective structure

Reaching over protective structures

The following symbols can be used:

Height of hazard zone
Height of protective structure
Horizontal safety distance to hazard zone.

Accessibilità al di sopra di strutture di protezione

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.
