2.3 Qualified Personnel
Due to the complexity of the equipment and the potential risks aris-
ing from its operation, the equipment may only be used by quali-
fied, specialist personnel.
2.3.1 Provider
The term “provider” applies to all persons who are responsible for
making the equipment and the necessary infrastructure available.
These persons may also be included in the group of people known
as “users”, though this is not always the case.
Irrespective of whether a provider is a member of the company’s
board of management or a supervisor, they bear a special level of
responsibility with regard to the processes and the qualification and
safety of the users.
2.3.2 User
General
The term “user” applies to all persons who come into contact with
the equipment in any way and perform work on or with it. This pri-
marily applies to the following activities, which can be performed by
the manufacturer’s own specialists or a variety of other persons (it
is not always possible to distinguish clearly between the different
types of person):
Assembly, installation and commissioning
Definition and preparation of the process
Operation
Troubleshooting and remedying of faults
Maintenance and cleaning (autoclaving, if necessary)
Service work and repairs
Disassembly, disposal and recycling
Qualified personnel
On account of their specific education, training and – in many
cases – experience, the qualified personnel required for this work
are able to recognise risks and respond accordingly to potential
hazards.
The qualified personnel (either internal or external) who cannot be
categorised under the separate “operators” group are made up of
the following groups of persons:
Electricians (electrical engineers)
Decontamination specialists
