SAFETY IN THE WORKPLACE
Most of the accidents which take place while the operator is using the machine or the equipment or
during their maintenance or repair are caused by a lack of compliance with the basic safety
precautions.
It is necessary, therefore, to become more and more conscious of the potential risks of one’s action
by constantly paying attention to its effects.
If potentially dangerous situations are known, accidents can be prevented!

Users must pay attention and be sensible for their own and other people’s safety
Training: users must have read and studied this manual, its eventual enclosed graphs and schemes
and its identification and danger plates. They must be skilled and trained on any use or maintenance
activities.
