2 Safety and protection measures
The following sections stipulate the residual risks associated with the product,
even when used as intended. In order to reduce the risk of personal injuries and
material damage, and to prevent hazardous situations, you must observe the
safety information listed in this section and the warnings in all other sections of
this manual.
2.1 Personal protective equipment
Personal protective equipment protects personnel from occupational safety and
health hazards while at work.
Wearing personal protective equipment may be required during work on the
product. Wherever possible, this personal protective equipment is listed in these
instructions for the individual work steps.
However, detailed specifications of the required protective equipment can only
be determined with full knowledge of the system. The required personal protec-
tive equipment should therefore be determined by the manufacturer.
2.2 Signs and labels
The following signs are found on the gas booster.
Over time, labels can become unrecognisable due to dirt or other causes. As a re-
sult, hazards may be harder to identify, and important operating procedures may
not be properly followed. Resulting errors can lead to severe injuries or death.
Keep the labels in good, legible condition and replace any damaged labels.
