Mobile work equipment is a form of machinery so the requirements for machinery apply. In addition:

• Risks from drive shafts (seizure, entanglement, soiling/damage by contact with the guard etc) must be safeguarded.
• Nobody may ride on mobile work equipment unless it is suitable for that purpose and incorporates safety features for reducing risk of injury to as low as is reasonably practicable.
• Risks from equipment rolling over must be minimised and there must be suitable restraining measures to prevent people being crushed.
• Self-propelled equipment must have, unless deemed trivial by risk assessment;
  • devices preventing use by unauthorised people;
  • facilities minimising the consequences of collision;
  • devices for braking and stopping;
  • devices for improving the field of vision;
  • lights, if used in dark places or at night;
  • automatic stop if it leaves its control range; and
  • features which guard against risks of crushing or impact.
