Round head shovel

Meet the regulatory requirements of your premises

Installing this shovel allows you to bring your safety equipment into compliance with articles CH 10 (ERP boiler rooms), PS 29 (covered parking areas), and R4227-32 of the French Labor Code . This tool is essential for deploying the mandatory 100 liters of absorbent material or sand near hazardous areas, such as fuel storage facilities or operating stations.

Its presence is also required by the APSAD R4 standard for insurance contracts covering liquid fuel boilers. To ensure effective periodic inspection and immediate visibility, it is advisable to place the shovel on a dedicated wall bracket or to verify its dimensional compatibility with the inside of your safety tray.

For solid or liquid fuel boiler rooms , with a useful output exceeding 70 kW for public access buildings (ERP):
- Article CH 10 : "a storage area [...] and a shovel must be kept in the immediate vicinity of the door in an easily accessible place"

For covered parking facilities for public access buildings (ERP), with more than 10 vehicles:
- Article PS29 : "100 litres of absorbent freely accessible at the operating station", or failing an operating station near a main exit.

For residential properties , starting from 100m² of parking:
- Article 96 : In order to limit theft, the regulations favour a bucket with a round bottom instead of a shovel "at each level a box [...] equipped with a bucket with a round bottom and placed near the traffic ramp".

For classified installations , refer to the applicable regulations:
For example, for service stations, under heading no. 1435; the decree provides for 200 litres of absorbent near the filling points with the "means necessary for its implementation".

Labour Code: For the risks mentioned above, among others, article R4227-32 therefore provides for the allocation of a container and a shovel.
