It is applicable to access systems (e.g. enclosure openings, platforms, handrails and handholds, stairways and steps, and ladders) on machines parked in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. NOTE This document is based on the 5th to 95th percentile operator dimensions, as defined in ISO 3411. NOTE The general principles of this standard can be used for the selection of fixed and/or portable access system for repairs, disassembly, and service, beyond routine maintenance. This International Standard deals with the following significant hazards, hazardous situations and events: slip, trip and fall of persons, and unhealthy postures or excessive effort.
