2.2 General safety regulations
Special safety regulations are given in the relevant national legislations or company regulations
for accident prevention. Compliance with these rules and regulations is a legal requirement and
a condition of employment. In addition to the safety regulations set out under the law, also
observe the following points:
• Keep the worksite clean.
• Before every start-up, always check that there are no persons in an unsafe situation or
position with respect to the System. Stop working if, despite warnings, there are still
employees in an unsafe situation.
• Only use the System on an adequately stable and robust subsurface.
• Keep all equipment out of the area of above-ground power lines.
• The coverings must be closed (this does not apply to the covering on control panels).
• The operator must switch off the System before leaving it unattended.
• Use all required Personal Protection Equipment (PPE).
• Do not wear any loose clothing or jewellery. Long hair must be tied back.
• Tools and equipment, necessary for (dis-)assembly of the System as well as for
maintenance have to be in good condition. Badly maintained equipment can cause time
wastage and lead to permanent damage to the equipment and/or it surroundings.
• Keep the hydraulic and moving equipment of the System clean to prevent it from
jamming or causing damage to itself or other equipment.
• Do not use the System, whether loaded or not, while unauthorized people are in its
vicinity. The System can be operated remotely.
• Maintain focus during the work. Carelessness may result in serious injuries.
• Additional lifting gear and accessories such as hawsers, shackles, lugs, slings etc. must
comply with the legal requirements imposed in the country of use.
• Inspect the condition of the System before every individual start-up, given the fact that
the slightest defect may have severe consequences.
• Personnel shall not place any part of their body under the load.
• Personnel shall remain clear of the system during operation.
• Personnel shall not ride on the system while it is moving or being moved.
• Remove loose tools or components from the load or the System if the load will be moved
as they might fall down during moving, which can lead to fatal accidents.
