All work must be carried out or be supervised by a suitably competent person.
Installation and operating personnel should be trained in the correct use of the
product according to the Installation and Maintenance Instructions.
Where a formal 'permit to work' system is in force it must be complied with. Where
there is no such system, it is recommended that a responsible person should know
what work is going on and, where necessary, arrange to have an assistant whose
primary responsibility is safety.

pushing, pulling, carrying or supporting a load by bodily force can cause injury

task, the individual, the load and the working environment and use the appropriate
handling method depending on the circumstances of the work being done.
