Minimum Performance Criteria for Falling Object Guards for Excavators
Also Known As: SAE J1356_202202
SAE J 1356:2022 is a standard that outlines the minimum performance criteria for falling object guards for excavators. It specifically applies to excavators that work above ground, in proximity to an excavated or free-standing bank or mine face that is taller than the top of the cab. It also applies to excavators involved in demolition applications of free-standing buildings or objects that are higher than the top of the cab.
The standard aims to ensure the safety of operators and workers by providing guidelines for the design and installation of falling object guards on excavators. These guards are intended to protect individuals from potential hazards associated with falling objects during excavation or demolition activities.
By setting minimum performance criteria, the standard establishes a benchmark for the effectiveness and reliability of falling object guards. Compliance with this standard ensures that excavators are equipped with appropriate protective measures to mitigate the risk of injuries or accidents caused by falling objects.
