Safety
Owner‘s Obligations
The device is used in the industrial sector, universities and research laboratories. The
owner of the device must therefore comply with statutory occupational safety require-
ments.
In addition to the safety instructions in this manual, the safety, accident prevention and
environmental protection regulations governing the operating area of the device must be
observed.
In this regard, the following requirements should be particularly observed:
• The owner must obtain information about the applicable occupational safety regula-
tions, and - in the context of a risk assessment - must determine any additional dan-
gers resulting from the specific working conditions at the usage location of the
device. The owner must then implement this information in a set of operating
instructions governing operation of the device.
• During the complete operating time of the device, the owner must assess whether
the operating instructions issued comply with the current status of regulations, and
must update the operating instructions if necessary.
• The owner must clearly lay down and specify responsibilities with respect to installa-
tion, operation, troubleshooting, maintenance and cleaning.
• The owner must ensure that all personnel dealing with the device have read and
understood this manual. In addition, the owner must provide personnel with training
and hazards information at regular intervals.
• The owner must provide the personnel with the necessary protective equipment.
• The owner must warrant that the device is operated by trained and authorised per-
sonnel as well as all other work, such as transportation, mounting, start-up, the
installation, maintenance, cleaning, service, repair and shutdown, that is carried out
on the device.
• All personnel who work with, or in the close proximity of the device, need to be
informed of all safety issues and emergency procedures as outlined in this user
manual.
• The owner must document the information about all safety issues and emergency
procedures in a laboratory SOP (Standard Operating Procedure). Routine briefings
and briefings for new personnel must take place.
• The owner must ensure that new personnel are supervised by experienced person-
nel. It is highly recommended to implement a company training program for new
personnel on all aspects of product safety and operation.
• The owner must ensure that personnel are regularly informed of the potential haz-
ards within the laboratory. This is all personnel that work in the area, but in particular
laboratory personnel and external personnel such as cleaning and service person-
nel.
• The owner is responsible for taking measures to avoid inherent risks in the handling
of dangerous substances, preventing industrial disease, and providing medical first
aid in emergencies.
• The owner is responsible for providing facilities according to the local regulations for
the prevention of industrial accidents and generally accepted safety regulations
according to the rules of occupational medicine.
