Stroji za zemeljska dela - Varnost - 4. del: Zahteve za bagre
Ta del standarda prEN 474 obravnava vsa večja tveganja, nevarne situacije in nevarne dogodke v zvezi z bagri s kolesi in gosenicami iz standarda EN ISO 6165:2012.
Ta del obravnava tudi uporabo vilic, dvigovanje in rokovanje s hlodi.
Zahteve iz tega dela dopolnjujejo splošne zahteve iz standarda prEN 474-1:2017.
Ta dokument ne navaja ponovno zahtev iz standarda prEN 474-1:2017, temveč dodaja ali nadomešča zahteve za uporabo bagrov.
Ta evropski standard obravnava vsa večja tveganja, nevarne situacije in nevarne dogodke v zvezi s stroji za zemeljska dela, kadar se uporabljajo pod pričakovanimi pogoji, pri čemer se upošteva tudi morebitna razumno predvidena nepravilna uporaba teh strojev (glej točko 4). Ta evropski standard določa ustrezne tehnične ukrepe za zmanjšanje večjih tveganj, nevarnih situacij in nevarnih dogodkov v celotni pričakovani življenjski dobi strojev.
Ta evropski standard se ne uporablja za stroje, izdelane pred datumom izdaje tega evropskega standarda s strani CEN.
OPOMBA: Za prevažanje po javnih cestah veljajo nacionalni prometni predpisi (npr. glede zaviranja, krmiljenja, razsvetljave, vleke itd.), dokler ne bodo na voljo usklajene zahteve.

Introduction
This document is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100:2010.
This document is of relevance, in particular, for the following stakeholder groups representing the market
players with regard to machinery safety:
— machine manufacturers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— health and safety bodies (regulators, accident prevention organizations, market surveillance, etc.).
Others can be affected by the level of machinery safety achieved with the means of the document by the
above-mentioned stakeholder groups:
— machine users/employers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— machine users/employees (e.g. trade unions, organizations for people with special needs);
— service providers, e.g. for maintenance (small, medium and large enterprises);
