2. Health and safety
This section contains an overview of the most important health and safety at work aspects in
order to protect employees and to guarantee safe and troublefree operation.
Non-compliance with any and all of the information, safe behaviour and procedures etc. con-
tained herein may entail severe health and safety risks.
2.1 Responsibilities of the operating company
This equipment has been designed for professional use. The owner/operator or operating
company therefore is subject to any and all legal obligations concerning health and safety at
work.
That means, in addition to this operating manual, any and all accident prevention, health and
safety at work and environmental regulations pertaining to this equipment's scope of applica-
tion shall apply as well. This means in particular:
The operating company must be informed about any and all pertinent health and safety at
work regulations and must carry out a risk assessment in order to determine additional
hazards existing under the specific conditions in the specific work environment at the
place of operation. Any and all findings from such a risk assessment must then be used
to draw up additional operating instructions for the operation of this equipment.
During the entire lifetime of this equipment, the operating company must check in regular
intervals whether such additional operating instructions are still up to date and must up-
date them when necessary.
The operating company must unambiguously determine and communicate responsibili-
ties concerning the installation, operation, maintenance and cleaning of this equipment.
The operating company must make sure that any person handling this equipment has
read and understood this operating manual. Operating personnel, in addition, must be
trained in regular intervals and must be informed about the dangers existing in connection
with this equipment. (For a draft of a training report form, see "Appendix”
The operating company is responsible that the equipment is in proper working order at all
times. Therefore:
The operating company must make sure that any and all maintenance jobs described in
this manual are really carried out.
The operating company must have any and all safety labels, markings etc. on the equip-
ment checked for integrity and readability in regular intervals.
2.2 Personal protective equipment (PPE)
Wearing PPE during work is essential to minimise health and safety risks.
Be sure to be always wearing the appropriate PPE for the job at hand.
Be sure to take note of and comply with warning signs concerning PPE that may be in-
stalled at the workplace.
Wear principally
At all works wear principally:
Non-inflammable safety clothing
is a tight-fitting sort of special clothing that is not inflammable, covers arms
and legs completely and tears easily (instead of getting pulled in). Its main
purpose is to protect against burns.
Safety shoes
protect the wearer's feet against falling objects, slippery surfaces and being
run over by vehicles.
