Tech/Engineering - Engineering (general)
German term or phrase: Hub- und Fahrbewegung
The entire sentence is:

Sichern Sie den Arbeits- und Verkehrsbereich nach den geltenden Unfallverhuetungsvorschriften, so dass Personen weder durch Hub- oder Fahrbewegungen, noch bei Stoerungen, zum Beispiel durch berabfallendes Material, verletzt werden koennen.

(Ungainly sentence, but my attempt at a translation is - Safeguard the working area according to current rules for the prevention of accidents so that persons will not be hurt by moving or defective parts, or by falling objects)

English translation:"vertical or horizontal movement"
Explanation:
This sounds like safety instructions for use of forklift trucks or stackers so I would say something like this:

Safety measures must be implemented throughout the working and travel areas, in accordance with the latest industrial accident prevention regulations, for the prevention of personnel injury caused by vertical or horizontal movement as well as by accidental occurrences such as falling objects.

Explanation:
"Safeguard the working area according to the current safety guidelines to prevent injury by stroke or travel movements or during malfunction, e.g. by falling objects."
Shorter is better. "To prevent" works better than "for the prevention of". "prevent injury" works better than "persons will not be hurt".
Differentiate "bei Stoerungen" from "durch Stoerungen". The former indicates the process timeline (to be translated "during") while the latter indicates the cause (to be translated "by") - I may be nitpicking here :->.
Cheerio,
