DANGER:
Close off the area where operations of loading and unloading the machine are
carried out, in a clear and unequivocal manner and prevent possible access to
outsiders or persons anyhow not authorized to enter this area. Should any
components or equipment accidentally fall from a substantial height when loading or
unloading, this can result in immediate and serious danger.
4.4 LOADING AND UNLOADING
In order to optimize all subsequent stages of work, before proceeding to load or unload the
machine, carry out the operations described below:
— close off the area where operations of loading and unloading the machine are carried
out, in a clear and unequivocal manner, and enclose its perimeter in an effective
manner, to prevent possible access to outsiders or persons anyhow not authorized.
Bear in mind that the subsequent operations will be implemented at a substantial
height from the ground and should any component or equipment accidentally fall, it
can result in immediate and serious danger
— ensure that the floor on which the equipment constituting the machine is to be
placed, is horizontal and sufficiently stable, so not to cause dangerous situations of
the equipment tipping over, collapsing or subsiding
— unload the machine from the transport vehicle using a lift truck which has an
appropriate lifting system. The machine must be perfectly balanced
— for no reason whatsoever should anyone pass or stay under suspended loads during
this stage and the other stages, which will be described further on, of un/loading.
Using a lift truck only the driver of the same truck will be authorized to carry out the
operations; all other persons will have to stay at a distance, where they cannot be
affected in case of the load accidentally tipping over and they have to remain there
until the operation is carried out completely. It is absolutely necessary for individual
protection gear to be worn during these operations
— unload the remaining material and accessories constituting the machine and
distribute them in an orderly and safe manner within the closed off area. Ensure that
the material placed on the ground cannot, in any way, accidentally move, constitute a
danger to persons working nearby or subsequently interfere when moving the
machine;
— if part of the material has been placed in the free spaces inside the machine, or
components have been placed in rows lying on top of each other (to optimize space
allocation), remove the material from this layout and place it on the ground before
carrying out any other handling operation
