Rubbish Chute
Assembly and Operating Manual Page 5 of 24 BL041GB Edition 05.2012
1.4 Foreseeable misuse
Any use of the rubbish chute that deviates from the conditions specified
above and from the stated purpose is strictly prohibited.
In particular this applies to use:
• in a publicly accessible area
• in a potentially explosive area
• without securing the filling points to guard against people/material
falling in
• as an (emergency) chute for people
• as an internal transport/logistics/conduit system, e.g. for transporting
foodstuffs, e.g. cereals, for humans/animals to a lower floor
• for the disposal of burning, hot or combustible materials (including
cigarettes) or materials at risk of deflagration as a result of the
release of solvents, for example
• for the disposal of hazardous substances such as materials
containing asbestos, for example
• of a combination of parts from different rubbish chute systems.
1.5 Checks
The rubbish chute must be inspected for damage each time before it is
set up, following every blockage and at regular intervals (at least once a
year). Replace damaged parts immediately. Continued use is prohibited
until the damaged parts have been replaced.
1.6 Existing residual hazards
GEDA rubbish chutes have been designed and manufactured according
to the current state of the art. There are, however, – as with all products
– residual hazards.
These are:
Energies
• Potential energy of the components/potential energy of jammed
rubbish.
Component failure
• As a result of improper use, inadequate maintenance or incorrect
operation.
