Abstract
A surroundings monitoring system for a work machine includes: an object detection device that detects an object around the work machine including a cab; an external alarm device disposed outside the cab; an operator alarm device disposed inside the cab; and a processor. The processor sets, on the basis of input data for setting a control mode of the work machine from an input device, a control mode for controlling an operation of the work machine at a time when the object is detected to either an enabled mode in which at least a part of the operation of the work machine is restricted or a disabled mode in which the operation of the work machine is not restricted. The processor enables or disables the operator alarm device on the basis of the control mode that has been set.
