2. Make sure that the used wire rope slings to raise
the PANELS are placed in a symmetric way. Make
a previous study of the area where the E V-100
LIFTING BRACKETS should be placed (this will be
done by the application engineers).
 Check visually the state of the LIFTING BRACKET E
V-100 before any use, discarding it if any
problem.
 In long term jobsites the components will be
revised periodically (every six months) by qualified
personnel.
 NEVER STAY UNDER THE LIFTED LOAD.
 PANELS will be raised slowly, avoiding sudden
movements.
 When raising the PANEL do not stay near it. Lift it
some centimetres and check the correct
placement of the slings.
 If the lifting brackets are not working properly,
the PANEL will be placed on the ground and all
the mistakes will be corrected.
 If the load has to be guided, cords and other
auxiliary means will be used. These means will be
placed in the PANEL in advance.
 Never guide the load with the hand.
 If the crane operator does not have visual control
of the whole course, the displacement labours of
the PANELS will be guided by someone qualified
to do it.
 Gloves and safety boots with metallic toecap will
always be used for hand and feet protection
when placing E V-100 LIFTING BRACKETS and
raising PANELS. A helmet will always be used to
protect the head.
6.2. TRANSPORT, HANDLING AND
STORAGE
6.2.1 General guidelines
 Get informed about hazards on the building site
and preventive measures to avoid those.
 Obey the instructions of the person-in-charge at
the workplace.
 Ensure adequate communication between the
employees working together.
 Use work equipment only when authorised,
trained and provided with all required information
to conduct it.
 Maintain minimum distances to mobile work
equipment (forklifts, lorries, cranes, other
construction machinery) and to areas with the risk
of falling objects.
 Do not stand, walk, or work under suspended
loads, nor under the trajectory or in the vicinity of
these loads.
 Avoid the parts suffering blows and crushing
during transport, handling and storage.
 The material is packed for transport in appropriate
containers such as wood or steel pallets, boxes, or
strapped in bundles with stable base.
 Strap the bundles sufficiently stable to prevent
them from moving and getting damaged. If
necessary, protect the items with some sort of
buffer.
 Cut the metal strap, standing on the side, using
gloves and goggles to prevent getting cut by the
bouncing strap or caught in the strap.
6.2.2 Transport
 Ensure the stable loading of the material,
complying with the instructions of the driver
(equilibrated distribution on the lorry bed,
fastening of auxiliary items, etc.).
