2.1 SAFETY
The personnel shall be instructed on the risks result-
ing from accidents on the devices arranged for the
operator’s safety and on the general accident preven-
tion regulations provided for by the legislation of the

much familiarity are too often the cause of accidents
as well as tiredness and sleepiness.

ticular the section concerning the safety regulations.
