3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in prEN 1907:2004 and the following apply. 3.1 harm (to persons) physical injury and/or damage to health 3.2 hazard a potential source of harm 3.3 risk combination of the probable rate of occurrence of a hazard causing harm and of the degree of severity of the harm 3.4 hazardous situation any situation in which a person is exposed to a hazard or hazards 3.5 hazard scenario any event which directly gives rise to a hazardous situation 3.6 height above ground the distance between the surface of the floor of closed carriers or the seat surface of open carriers and the surface of the ground (without taking into account any covering of snow) 3.7 speed speed of the moving cable, measured at the drive sheave for self-propelled vehicles, the speed of these on the rope 3.8 safety component any basic component, set of components, subassembly or complete assembly of equipment and any device incorporated in the installation for the purpose of ensuring a safety function and identified by the safety

visibility and other external conditions do not require any special precautions to be taken;  the comfort of the passengers is not impaired;  the main drive is in use. 4 Safety principles 4.1 General safety requirements applicable to the installations and to their components This clause sets out general safety requirements for cableway installations designed to carry persons, their subsystems and their components. 4.1.1 General safety principles All cableway installations designed to carry persons shall be designed, constructed and operated by applying the following principles in the order indicated: a) avoid or at least limit the risks by appropriate design or construction measures; b) take the necessary protective measures with respect to remaining risks which cannot be avoided by design and construction measures; c) define and make known the precautions to be taken to reduce those risks which it has not been possible to avoid completely by the previous preventative and protective measures. In the case of installations and components complying with EN 1709, EN 1908, EN 1909, EN 12397, EN 12408, EN 12927 (Parts 1 to 8), EN 12929 (Parts 1 and 2), EN 12930, EN 13107, EN 13223, EN 13243 and prEN 13796 (Parts 1 to 3), it can be assumed that these safety principles are observed. 4.1.2 Possible injuries to persons The hazards to be taken into account are those which can in particular result in the following injuries to persons: a) injuries caused by falls (including those caused by carriers falling); b) bruising, crushing or injury by trapping of persons (other than falls); c) impairments to health resulting from extended exposure of persons to adverse weather conditions; d) other dangers to health, for example electrocution, burns, inhalation of poisonous gases, etc

towers and at rollers in the station having a similar function to line rollers EN 12929-1 EN 13223 EN 13243 4.3 General requirements for the safety of workers 4.3.1 Cableways shall be designed and constructed so that operation and maintenance work are possible without exposing personnel respecting the instructions in force to any risk. Cableways shall be designed and constructed so as to reduce essential maintenance operations as much as possible. Components requiring regular maintenance shall be positioned so that they are easily accessible. NOTE With regard to greasing, for example, the requirement for reduction of maintenance is met if the technical design and construction avoids manual greasing as far as possible (for example by using permanently lubricated roller or ball bearings or a centralized power-operated greasing system). 4.3.2 In working areas and passages, as well as in the vicinity of elevated maintenance points, danger areas from mechanical equipment and carriers are to be avoided by taking suitable precautions in design and construction. If danger areas cannot be avoided by these measures, safety shall be ensured by guards complying with EN ISO 12100. For requirements for the design and arrangement of guards, reference shall be made to EN 294. NOTE Danger areas are, for example, those areas where there is a danger of crushing, shearing, entanglement or entrapment; they are avoided when, for example, the minimum distances recommended in EN 349 to avoid the crushing of parts of the body are observed. Guards may include, for example, enclosures, fences and barriers. For elevated maintenance points, guards at places where there may be entrapment by the rope may be dispensed with. For the purposes of this document:  working and circulation areas include work positions at floor level and passageways for the personnel. Work positions at floor level include, for example, passenger loading and unloading areas and control stations;  elevated maintenance points are positions which are not directly accessible from the ground and from which maintenance operations on electrical or mechanical components of the installation and on the carriers are carried out. Direct access to components means, for example, being able to reach them without needing to use ladders. 4.3.3 Maintenance switches shall be made available to the personnel. The provisions of EN 13243 apply. 4.3.4 With regard to the arrangement of the emergency stop buttons which shall be available to the personnel and if necessary the passengers, the provisions of EN 13243 apply.
