Abstract
A surrounding area monitoring device for monitoring an area around a work machine displays an immediate range display image as a bird's eye view image indicating the immediate area surrounding the work machine from above the work machine and a wide range display image indicating a wide area including a predetermined range outside the immediate area, selectively. The wide range display image is displayed if a position of a worker is not located within a monitoring area. The immediate range display image is displayed if the position of the worker is located within the monitoring area. The immediate range display image is the bird's eye view image set around the schematic graphic image of the work machine. The wide range display image is an image including a reduced immediate range display image and an image showing the conditions outside the immediate area in the schematic graphic representation.
