2.7 Glossary
Technical terminology or terminology with an uncommon meaning is used in the manuals.
The terms and abbreviations used are explained below:
Component or equipment not attached to the lifting machinery, allowing the load to be picked up,
which is placed between the machinery and the load or on the load itself, or which is intended to
become an integral part of the load and independently placed on the market.
Slings and their components are also regarded as lifting accessories.
Different kinds of faults that prevent normal operation of machinery, of a system, etc.
Chains, ropes and webbing

stops) and/or wear (PPE);
• passive safeguard that intervenes without human control.
Physical barrier, designed as part of the machine to provide protection.
Combination of the probability and the degree of an injury or damage to health that can arise in
a hazardous situation.
