DÍL PRVNÍ

INTRODUCTORY PROVISIONS
§ 1
Scope
(1) The Decree lays down, in accordance with the law of the European Communities (1a), requirements to ensure the safety and health of workers and of operations (hereinafter referred to as "labour and traffic safety") in the processing and processing of minerals carried out in connection with their concurrence (1).
(2) The Decree does not apply to the treatment and treatment of gases, oil and other liquids carried out in connection with their conquest and to the treatment of gases and liquids stored in natural rock structures and underground environment.2)
§ 2
Interpretation of terms
For the purposes of this decree, it shall be considered as:
(a) the burden of excessive weight on an article weighing more than 3000 kg;
(b) the burden of excessive dimensions of an object whose transport or handling is not possible to meet the road gaps laid down in this Decree;
(c) a long load of an article exceeding the loading surface of the vehicle in the longitudinal direction so that an auxiliary coupling device (towing, chain, etc.) must be used to connect the vehicle to the next vehicle;
(d) a sign of prohibition, warning, order or information, expressed in terms of sound, light, mark, sign or sign, depending on its position, movement or colour;
(e) protective equipment of a technical or other device to prevent accidents, accidents or failures of a technical device;
(f) protective distance from the source of danger, the distance between the protective device and the source threatening the life or health of workers (rotating, moving or hot parts of machinery, parts of electrical equipment under voltage, etc.),
(g) open fire of deliberate and controlled burning; an open fire shall also be considered to be the development of heat energy or sparkle resulting from deliberately induced physical or chemical processes or processes or processes and could cause a fire or explosion;
(h) work associated with increased hazards such that the worker is at increased risk of injury. It is the work provided for by this decree, the work under which permanent supervision is ordered and the work decided by the organisation,
(ch) the workplace of the premises designated for the worker to carry out the work, including technical equipment in that area, related to the designated work activity;
(i) an establishment constructed or otherwise enclosed in a space in which machinery or electrical equipment is incorporated or which is intended to be used for the closure of mobile machinery;
(j) an operating safety system of a set of measuring and control elements, including the necessary controls and, where appropriate, other parts of the equipment, which continuously or at specified intervals check the safe operation of the installation and ensure that it is switched off under predetermined conditions or in a condition where damage to the installation could occur due to overstep or, where appropriate, substigation of the specified values;
(k) permanent surveillance of the continuous monitoring of the work activities of workers and of the status of the workplace in which the worker designated by the organisation must not leave the workers and must not be employed by other than supervision;
(l) maintenance of the equipment shall be carried out in order to maintain the equipment in an operational and safe state. The maintenance of the equipment shall also include inspections, tests, inspections, revisions and repairs of the equipment, as well as the installation and dismantling of parts of the equipment to the extent necessary to carry out inspections, tests, inspections, revisions or repairs of the equipment,
(m) the treatment of minerals by a set of processes which, on mechanical, physical, chemical or physico-chemical principles, make it possible to improve the quality characteristics of the obtained minerals by either being directly used or better processed into finished products, i.e. to remove the obtained minerals of impurities and worthless components with which they are mixed or closely linked in the bearing and which are extracted together with the commercial minerals. The treatment of ores, coal and other minerals is carried out by sorting, crushing, separating commercial minerals from juniper matter (mechanical, magnetic, gravity, flotation, etc.),
n) the refining of minerals by further improvement of already purified minerals, e.g. coal briquettes, roasting ore, pelletisation and agglomeration, refractory burning clay, various drying minerals,
(o) an emergency serious accident at work, a serious incident, a serious accident at work and a dangerous condition.
§ 3
