This code has been prepared under the direction of the Agricultural Machinery and Impleme
7、nts Standards Committee. It is based on a proposal submitted by the National Farmers Union. When an operator cannot see clearly or when noise prevents normal verbal communication, hand signals from a second person can ensure safe and efficient operation. The hand signals in this code of practice hav
8、e been developed to minimize the risk of accidents occurring when operating fixed or mobile machinery, including tractors, in agricultural and horticultural buildings, yards, fieldsetc. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standa
9、rds are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations.

11、of normal voice communication. The purpose of these hand signals is to provide means of communication, in the interests of safety, between two persons. 2 General 2.1 Signals should be made in a clear and positive manner. 2.2 The position of the arm and palm should be the primary means for conveying
12、instructions by hand signals. 2.3 The method of making the hand signals and their interpretations should be in accordance with clause3. 3 Hand signals 3.1 Move toward me, follow me (seeFigure 1) Hold one arm horizontal towards the operator, palm up, and motion toward the body. Repeat as necessary. 3
13、.2 Move away from me (seeFigure 2) Hold one arm extended above the head, palm towards the operator then swing it forward in the direction of desired movement until it is horizontal, palm down. Repeat as necessary. Figure 1 Move toward me, follow me Figure 2 Move away from meBS6736:1986 2 BSI 11-1999
14、 3.3 Move in direction indicated (seeFigure 3) Move the appropriate hand horizontally at shoulder level repeatedly, to and from the body in the direction of the desired movement, keeping the palm facing outwards. 3.4 Raise (seeFigure 4) Extend both arms to the front at waist level, palms upwards. Ra
15、ise and lower both arms repeatedly in parallel. Figure 3 Travel in direction indicated Figure 4 RaiseBS6736:1986 BSI 11-1999 3 3.5 Lower (seeFigure 5) Extend both arms to the front at shoulder level, palms downward, hands close together. Lower and raise both arms repeatedly in parallel. 3.6 This far
16、 to go (seeFigure 6) Place palms at ear level facing head and move laterally inward to indicate remaining distance to go. Figure 5 Lower Figure 6 This far to goBS6736:1986 4 BSI 11-1999 3.7 Stop (seeFigure 7) Raise both hands upwards to the full extent of the arm, palms to the front. Hold that posit
17、ion until the signal is understood. 3.8 Operations cease (seeFigure 8) Draw both hands, palms down, across the waist in a repetitive side swipe and return motion. Continue these actions until the signal is understood. Figure 7 Stop Figure 8 Operations ceaseblankBS6736:1986 BSI 389 Chiswick High Road
