Some individuals, in particular older people, might have more than one impairment. Some individuals are not able to use an escalator or moving walk independently and rely on assistance/support being provided by a companion. Furthermore some individuals can be encumbered by objects or be responsible for other persons, which can affect their mobility. The extent to which an individual is incapacitated by impairments and encumbrances often depends on the usability of products, facilities and the environment. The use of wheelchairs on escalators and moving walks can lead to dangerous situations which cannot be mitigated by machine designs and therefore should not be permitted. The use of lifts is the preferred method of vertical travel for most people with disabilities and in particular wheelchair users and persons with guide dogs. Additional signs should be provided to indicate the location of other facilities, these facilities should be in close proximity to the escalators and moving walks and easy to find.
It is assumed that negotiations have been made for each contract between the customer and the supplier/installer (see also Annex A) about: a) intended use of the escalator or moving walk; b) environmental conditions; c) civil engineering problems; d) other aspects related to the place of installation. If escalators or moving walks are intended to be operated under special conditions, such as directly exposed to the weather or explosive atmosphere, or in exceptional cases serve as emergency exits, appropriate design criteria, components, materials and instructions for use should be used that satisfy the particular conditions. An Interpretation Committee has been established to clarify, if necessary, the spirit in which the clauses of the standard have been drafted and to specify the requirements appropriate to particular cases. Interpretation Requests can be sent to the National Standard Bodies which will contact the responsible Technical Committee CEN/TC 10. The formats of an interpretation request and the interpretation are given in Annex L. SIST EN 115-1:2009+A1:2010

4 List of significant hazards 4.1 General This clause contains all the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events, as far as they are dealt with in this standard, identified by risk assessment as significant for escalators and moving walks and which require action to eliminate or reduce the risk. These significant hazards are based upon EN ISO 14121-1 [2]. 4.2 Mechanical hazards Mechanical hazards on escalators and moving walks and in their immediate vicinity can occur because of the design of the machine or access to it.

4.9 Slipping, tripping and falling hazards Most of the dangerous situations on escalators and moving walks are caused by the slipping and falling of persons. These include:  slipping on steps/pallets/belt, on the comb plate and floor plate (see 5.3.1, 5.5.4, 5.7.1);  falling caused by handrail speed deviation (incl. standstill) (see 5.6.1, Fig. G.1, Fig. G.3);  falling caused by change of the direction of movement (see 5.4.2.3); SIST EN 115-1:2009+A1:2010
