3.3. DEFINITION OF THE QUALIFICATIONS OF INDIVIDUALS WHO INTERACT WITH THE
MACHINE
Operators are individuals assigned the task of manoeuvring, performing routing maintenance on and cleaning the machine
(each one within the limits of the assigned tasks). They are classified as follows:
TERM DEFINITION
"BASKET" OPERATOR
Individuals who have to have gone through specific training and who are required to be well familiar
with this use and maintenance manual.
GROUND OPERATOR
Individuals who have to have gone through specific training and who are required to be well familiar
with this use and maintenance manual. The presence of the ground operator allows the emergency
procedure to be carried out in case of need.
WORKERS
Individuals who are elevated in order to carry out the jobs. They do not have to be trained, except
for the risks of working at height.
MAINTENANCE WORKER
Skilled but not necessarily trained individual who deals with routine maintenance of the machine.
The instructions contained in this manual for routine maintenance provide the knowledge needed
to carry it out.
SKILLED
TECHNICIAN
Person specifically trained and qualified to carry out maintenance or repair jobs that require in-depth
knowledge of the machine, its operation, safety devices and the operating modes, and who can
recognize dangers resulting from machine use and consequently are able to avoid them (Example:
performs the annual maintenance on the machine).
EXPOSED
PERSON
Anyone who is standing entirely or in part in a dangerous area.
ATTENTION!
When accessing the various areas, the operators must always comply with:
♦ the limits of the assigned tasks;
♦ the warnings listed on the plates;
♦ the planned operating procedures.
ATTENTION!
During regular machine use, it is advisable that at least 2 operator be present, both suitably trained:
♦ the first operator inside the basket for execution of jobs at height;
♦ the second operator on the ground to oversee the machine and provide assistance to the first
operator, ready to step in in case of dangerous situations or emergency manoeuvres need to
be carried out.
If the environmental conditions allow it, it is also possible to manoeuvre the platform from the
ground with the workers only inside the basket. In this case, only one operator is needed.
IMPORTANT!
In case the operator chooses to manoeuvre the platform from he basket and there is no second
operator on the ground, you need to bear in mind the fact that the emergency manoeuvre cannot be
carried out immediately in case of a breakdown, and that another operator ready to take action will
have to be contacted. The possibility has to be considered very carefully.
