4 List of significant hazards The list of risks and hazards (given at AnnexA) is based on EN ISO 12100:2010 and contains the hazards and hazardous situations as far as they are dealt with in this European standard, identified by risk assessment as significant for baggage and equipment tractors and which require action to eliminate or reduce the risk. Not covered are hazards due to the traffic and repair. . 5 Safety requirements and/or measures 5.1 General requirements 5.1.1 Baggage and equipment tractors shall conform to the requirements of this standard and the relevant requirements of EN 1915-1:2013, EN 1915-2:2001+A1:2009, EN 1915-3:2004+A1:2009 and EN 1915-4:2004+A1:2009 unless otherwise specified in this standard. The specific requirements of this European standard take precedence over those of the EN 1915 series.
Machinery shall comply with the safety requirements and/or measures of this clause. In addition, the machine shall be designed according to the principles of EN ISO 12100:2010 for relevant but not significant hazards which are not dealt with by this document.
5.1.2 Stability and strength calculations shall be carried out in accordance with
EN 1915-2:2001+A1:2009.
5.1.3 The overall dimensions of baggage and equipment tractors shall be kept to a minimum, consistent with their function, taking into account site operational requirements.
The following information shall be determined by the manufacturer through consultation with the user:
a) overall dimensions;
b) speeds;
c) maximum drawbar pull;
d) drawbar interface heights;
e) maximum-braked train mass.
5.1.4 Internal combustion engine powered baggage and equipment tractors using liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) shall be in accordance with the requirements of EN ISO 3691-1:2015, 4.5.4.
5.2 Driver’s accommodation
5.2.1 Baggage and equipment tractors shall be equipped with seated driver accommodation.
5.2.2 The operator’s seat shall be so located that the operator has sufficient room while operating the baggage and equipment tractor so as to remain within the plan view outline of the tractor. The minimum dimensions given in Annex B shall be applied. The dimensions shall be of suitable and ergonomic shape to accommodate at least a 5th percentile to a 95th percentile of the population, as shown in EN ISO 3411:2007, Figures 1 to 3, within the plan view outline of the tractor. The seat shall not extend beyond the plan view outline of the tractor.
5.2.3 Provision shall be made for the storage of operating instructions in the vicinity of the driver’s accommodation. This shall not obstruct the driver’s usual field of operation and view nor constitute a dangerous obstacle in case of a frontal impact.
5.2.4 In addition to seat belts (see 5.4.5), lateral restraint systems shall be provided on each side exposed to a risk of tipping over. Such means shall not unduly restrict the operation of the tractor, e.g. the driver’s access, egress, movement, and/or visibility (see Annex D for recommendations). The lateral restraint system shall:
a) be provided to reduce the risk of entrapment of the operator’s head and/or torso between the tractor and the ground in the event of a tip-over. For this purpose it shall be designed so that the driver’s shoulders are under the top level of the protection, whatever the adjustment of the seat;
b) be latched in the protective position;
c) prevent the whole body of the operator passing through the lateral opening.BS EN 12312-15 pdf download.
