Stricter safety norms for construction equipment on anvil
The government has proposed stricter norms on highways which include features like machine-mounted audible travel alarms, non-metallic fuel tank and wider operator visibility for construction equipment machinery. The transport ministry has given a draft notification for the construction equipment vehicles that address issues of safety requirements. The proposed notification aims to introduce AIS (Automotive Industry Standard) 160 to introduce requirements like machine mounted audible travel alarms, visual display requirements, requirements for operator station and maintenance areas, non-metallic fuel tanks and Minimum Access Dimensions. Construction equipment vehicles are used for carrying out infrastructure projects and to ensure safety of the operator while these machines are running on public roads along with other vehicles. The government has invited suggestions from stakeholders and people on the proposed safety norms. Construction equipment vehicle means a self-propelled machine with rubber tyred, rubber padded or steel drum wheel-mounted compactor, wheeled hydraulic excavator, wheel loader, backhoe loader, skid-steer loader, dumper, motor grader, mobile crane, dozer and pavers.
