The operator must instruct employees with regard to their activity before they begin using the chamber and
related work equipment. Following this, further instruction must be provided at regular intervals, at least
once per year. The date of each instruction and the names of the instructed persons must be recorded in
writing.
It is essential for safe and secure operation of the chamber that the user be familiar with the safety plan
from the operator.
Do not work on the chamber or in its surroundings, under any circumstances, after consuming alcohol,
drugs, and certain medications which may impair the ability to perceive, assess, and react.
5.3 Operating instructions
The measures to avoid hazards resulting from the risk assessment (chap. 5.1) are to be specified as Op-
erating instructions. Before employees use the chamber and related work equipment for the first time, the
operator must specify instructions for safe use in one or more operating instructions. These must comply
with regulatory requirements and be verified regularly to ensure that they are up to date.
When creating the operating instructions, follow applicable national regulations.
Keep these operating instructions with the chamber at all times in a place where they are
clearly visible. They must be comprehensible and written in the language of the employees.
5.4 Protective equipment
If required, the operator must provide the operating personnel with the necessary protective equipment.
5.5 Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
In order to ensure the measures under the responsibility of the operator, creating Standard Operating Pro-
cedures (SOPs) is recommended.
In particular, this should prevent the Residual Risks due to incorrect operation specified in the chapter
“Residual Risks” (chap. 4).
5.6 Testing and maintenance
The operator must ensure that the chamber is always in a technically functional state.
Observe the maintenance intervals specified by the manufacturer. If there is above-average strain, the
intervals must be shortened accordingly.
The operator must regularly verify that the safety-related devices are functioning correctly.
Document tests with results and measures that were potentially initiated, as well as maintenance and re-
pairs, in a System logbook
For testing see chap. 6
Maintenance measures, see chap. 28.
