2.b Safety principles
All devices shall be designed, operated and maintained according to the following principles to be applied:
1. the construction and construction already excluded or reduced the risk of safety hazards;
2. all necessary measures have been established and implemented to protect against risks which could not be eliminated in construction and construction;
3. Precautions have been established and implemented to eliminate risks which could not be completely eliminated by measures and means under the first and second indents.
2.c External influences
The installation shall be designed and constructed in such a way that it can be operated safely with regard to the type of equipment, nature and physical characteristics of the terrain on which the installation is built, its surroundings, atmospheric and meteorological effects, as well as possible structures and obstacles located in the vicinity either on the ground or in the air.
2.d Dimensions
The sub-systems and all its safety features shall be designed, designed and constructed in such a way as to withstand, with sufficient degree of safety, all loads that occur under all foreseeable conditions, including those that occur when the equipment is not in operation, and taking into account, in particular, the external effects, dynamic effects and fatigue phenomena corresponding to recognised technical rules, especially when selecting the material.
2.e Installation
2.ea Sub-systems and all safety features shall be designed and constructed so that they can be safely assembled and installed.
2.eb Safety features shall be designed to prevent incorrect installation either by design or by appropriate marking on their own components.
2.f Operation of equipment

4.b Mechanical devices
4.ba Pohony
The propulsion equipment shall have adequate performance and capability to adapt to different operating conditions and modes.
4.bb Emergency drive
The device shall be equipped with an emergency power supply that is independent of the main propulsion system. However, an emergency drive is not necessary if the safety analysis shows that persons can leave vehicles easily, quickly and safely.
4.bc Brakes
1. In the event of danger, it shall be possible to stop equipment and wagons at any time at the nominal load capacity and friction conditions permitted during operation under the most unfavourable conditions. The stopping distance shall be chosen as required by the safety of persons and equipment.
2. Delay values shall be within reasonable limits to ensure both the safety of persons and the safe behaviour of wagons, ropes and other parts of equipment.
3. Each device shall have two or more brake systems, each of which shall be capable of stopping the device and shall be so adjusted that it automatically replaces the active system when its performance is no longer sufficient. The braking system of the towing ropes, which acts last, shall operate directly on the driving disc. This provision does not apply to ski lifts.
4. The device shall be equipped with an effective switch-off and locking mechanism to prevent its undesirable start.
4.c Control equipment
The control device shall be designed and operated in such a way that it is safe and reliable to withstand normal operational stress and external influences such as humidity, extreme temperatures and electromagnetic interference, and shall not cause dangerous situations even in case of operator error.

5.b The attachment of the wagons and towing gear to the rope shall be so designed and carried out that, even under the most adverse conditions, it does not cause:
1. rope damage; or
2. slip, other than slip, which is insignificant to the safety of the vehicle, towing gear or own gear.
5.c The wagon doors (on wagons, cabs) shall be designed and constructed in such a way that they can be closed and secured. The floor and the walls of the wagons shall be so designed and constructed as to withstand under all circumstances the pressures and loads caused by the user.
5.d Where the presence of an operator is necessary to ensure the safety of operation in the vehicle, the vehicle shall be equipped with the necessary equipment to enable it to perform its tasks.
5.e Wagons, towing gear and especially their suspension mechanisms shall be designed and equipped to ensure the safety of maintenance personnel in accordance with the relevant rules and instructions.
5.f In the case of vehicles with detachable gripping, all precautions must be taken to ensure that the wagons connected to the rope before departure and the vehicles not disconnected from the rope are stopped at no risk to the users and to prevent the vehicle from falling.
5.g Road cableway vehicles and, if the arrangement of the equipment so permits, two-lane cableway wagons shall be equipped with a self-actuating road brake, if the breaking of the supporting rope cannot reasonably be avoided.
5.h If the risk of derailment cannot be ruled out by other means, the wagon shall be equipped with a derailment device to enable the vehicle to stop without endangering persons.
6. User Devices
Access to the area of entry and exit in the area of exit, boarding and exit of users shall be organised with regard to movement and stopping of wagons in order to ensure the safety of persons, especially in areas where there is a risk of falling.
Children and persons with reduced mobility shall be able to safely use equipment when designed to transport such persons.

7.ab The persons responsible for the operation of the equipment shall be equipped with appropriate material means and shall be eligible for operations.
7.b Safety during equipment interruption
All technical provisions and measures shall be taken to ensure that users can be brought to safety at a specified time corresponding to the type of equipment and its surroundings when the equipment stops and the operation cannot be restored quickly.
7.c Other special precautions
7.ca Service station
Movable parts which are normally accessible in stations shall be designed, constructed and installed in such a way as to avoid all hazards, or where such hazards exist, so that such parts are fitted with protective devices to prevent any contact with those parts of the equipment which could cause injury. These devices shall be so designed that they cannot be easily removed or become inefficient.
7.cb Hazard to fall
Workplaces and other workplaces, including those used only occasionally, and access to them shall be designed and constructed in such a way as to prevent the fall of persons working there or staying there.
