14、at of which is held by DIN. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This Working Group was given a mandate to write a Technica

15、l Report (TR) in Prague in 2001 by CEN/TC 53, the Secretariat of which is held by DIN. No existing European document is superseded. A Technical Report is an informative document made available by CEN in at least one of the official languages. A Technical Report is established and approved by a CEN t

16、echnical body (CEN Technical Committee, Technical Board or BTTF) by a simple majority vote of CEN national members. A Technical Report gives information on the technical content of standardization work. No time limit is specified for the lifetime of Technical Reports, but it is recommended that Tech

17、nical Reports be regularly reviewed by the responsible technical body to ensure that they remain valid. Representatives from the relevant safety authorities from Cyprus, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Switzerland, Norway and the United Kingdom drew up this document. In accordance with the

18、advice of CEN/TC 53, convenors of working groups are asked to take into consideration the recommendations for health and safety contained herein. Therefore, CEN/TC 53 intends that this document should be used as a reference to ensure that, whenever it is practicable to do so, the recommendations for

19、 health and safety should be incorporated into the requirements of the European Standards dealing with temporary works equipment. In drafting this Technical Report, the Technical Group recognised that as the boundaries for the expectations of society and the technical state-of-the-art are continuall

20、y being advanced, there was a need to remind designers, manufacturers and users of temporary works equipment of this fact. Consequently, the concept of “as far as social and technical developments require” 3.2 has been introduced as an overarching principle in the development of temporary works equi

21、pment. CEN/TC 53 working groups should give careful consideration to the guiding principles set out in this report. However, if not, an explanation should be given along with advice about methods to avoid risk of injury. PD CEN TR 15563:2017CEN/TR 15563:2007 (E) 4 Introduction Temporary works equipm

22、ent makes a vital contribution to the construction of the works in many areas, e.g., on any building or construction project, because it provides: means for allowing workers to reach a workplace at height; work platform at height; temporary support, while the permanent works develops its strength. W

23、here temporary works equipment is used to support the permanent works in a weakened state, the main consideration is strength. However, when it is also used as the means for providing access to the workplace at height, there are other considerations, which should be taken into account. Temporary wor

24、ks equipment should: be strong enough; be intrinsically safe; provide a comfortable work platform, which allows good ergonomic work positions; make erection and dismantling a safer process; when used and maintained correctly, (in accordance with the manufacturers instructions), have no adverse effec

25、ts on their health through working with it; and inspire confidence about their safety and health in workers erecting, dismantling and using it so that work can progress expeditiously. It is important to ensure that convenors of working groups drawing up European Standards for temporary works equipme

26、nt are aware of these requirements, which could contribute to safety. In the absence of a European Directive for temporary works equipment, relevant safety-related information is spread across several European Directives. Therefore, this Technical Report, which collects together much of this dispers

27、ed information, is meant as a reference document for future working group delegates who, while having the necessary technical and manufacturing knowledge, may lack the same in-depth knowledge of factors affecting health and safety. While this Technical Report asks future working groups to consider a

28、 number of questions, it does not demand that a solution be found when it is technically impossible to do so. Consequently, the over-arching principle of this report is that design should take account of “social and technical developments”: which is defined in this Technical Report and has two disti

29、nct parts, namely: i) “Changes in societys expectations, which initiate changes in working practices ”; which would be articulated in EU Directives or national laws and, as such, would be mandatory; and ii) “ the advances in technology, which improve the state-of-the-art”; which means when it is tec

30、hnically feasible to do. PD CEN TR 15563:2017CEN/TR 15563:2007 (E) 5 1 Scope This Technical Report sets out recommendations for achieving acceptable levels of health and safety with temporary works equipment intended for use during construction or maintenance of buildings and other permanent structu

31、res. Its recommendations should be considered when writing standards for designing and producing temporary works equipment under CEN/TC 53. 2 References The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. Fo

35、d definitions apply. 3.1 temporary works equipment (TWE) equipment, which is provided temporarily as a workplace for people, to enable people to reach a workplace or for temporarily supporting the permanent works NOTE The equipment is subsequently dismantled. 3.2 social and technical developments ch

36、anges in societys expectations, which initiate changes in working practices and the advances in technology, which improve the state-of-theart 3.3 hazard existence of situations likely to cause harm PD CEN TR 15563:2017CEN/TR 15563:2007 (E) 6 3.4 risk probability that a hazard will cause harm 4 Gener

37、al recommendations for achieving acceptable levels of health and safety 4.1 Identifying hazards and limiting the risks An important first step is to identify and list all the foreseeable hazards 3.3, which could apply to the temporary works equipment. It should be possible to fit components and use

38、and maintain temporary works equipment with the risks reduced to acceptable levels. Any equipment and accessories necessary to achieve this should be supplied. Under the intended method of erection and dismantling and reasonably foreseeable conditions of use the risk 3.4 of discomfort, fatigue and p

39、sychological stress faced by the worker should be reduced, by design, to levels dictated by social and technical developments 3.2, taking ergonomic principles into account. It should be supplied with all instructions necessary to limit the risks 3.4 associated with erection, use and dismantling. 4.2

40、 Design Temporary Works Equipment TWE should be designed taking into account: a) social and technical developments 3.2; b) strength and stability; c) risk to workers using the temporary works equipment from objects falling from a height; d) risks to others from objects falling from height; e) the pr

41、inciples of risk1)assessment; f) the necessary or foreseeable use of personal protection equipment; g) its function so that it can be erected, used, adjusted, maintained and dismantled safely under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer or during foreseeable misuse as written in the instruction

42、 manual. Manufacturers instructions should draw attention to ways, which compromise safety, in which it should not be used; h) provision of sufficient space to enable workers to carry out their work safely; i) attachment of the connection devices so that they cannot be removed unintentionally; j) th

43、e problems associated with storage, transportation and handling; k) its performance in fire. 1) Some common frequent risks are: Slipping, tripping and stumbling; Overloading with bricks, concrete blocks, bagged products, temporary works equipment components, demolition rubble are some of the practic

44、es that could cause partial or collapse of temporary works. PD CEN TR 15563:2017CEN/TR 15563:2007 (E) 7 4.3 Materials The materials used in temporary works equipment should not endanger safety or health. Materials should be durable with respect to the climatic conditions they are required to operate

45、 in and robust enough to withstand damage from handling and transportation. 4.4 Information attached to the equipment If information relevant to the safe use of temporary works equipment is attached to the equipment it should be displayed in a prominent place and should remain legible throughout its

46、 service life. This does not preclude renewal of such information. This information, especially where it is transmitting instructions associated with health and safety, should ensure that such instructions are unambiguous and understood by all users, e.g., by the use of pictograms as a convenient un

47、iversal language. 4.5 Instruction manuals The instruction manual should be designed so that it can be clearly understood and should at least contain enough information about erection, use and its limitations, maintenance and dismantling the temporary works equipment safely. 5 Particular recommendati

48、ons for achieving acceptable levels of health and safety 5.1 Safety distances and ergonomics Temporary Works Equipment should be designed taking into account data on human body measurements and other data to assist in determining dimensions essential for safety distances and ergonomics. NOTE Some re

49、levant data can be found in European Standards e.g., EN 547 and EN 294. 5.2 Handling 5.2.1 Weight, shape and surface As far as possible the design of components should minimise manual handling. While social and technical developments 3.2 permit the manual handling of temporary works equipment, each component part thereof should be capable of being handled safely. Therefore, components, which have to be handled should: a) weigh2)3)4)as little as social and technical developments require; b) be of a shape and dime
