AFETY INSTRUCTIONS
A.1 Organisational instructions
It is up to the user to follow organisational instructions,
such as:

assigning authority

procedures for entering electrical switchrooms

reporting procedures at the beginning and end of work

stipulations relating to the execution of work

drawing up a safety plan

stating risks in the form of warnings on the system
All these items depend on the nature and policy of the
business.
Recommendation to the user: the user can compile these
items into a book. He must ensure that all authorised
personnel are aware of the existence and contents of this
book.
A.2 Operational instructions
Operational instructions are "system-specific" instructions
and are set down in this manual. They are in the form of
instructions (such as warnings, life hazards etc.) which
appear before or within the relevant operation in the step-
by-step procedures. For further information, see chapter
2.2 - Safety (system-specific).
B. W
ARNINGS
B.1 Warning signs

Labels, warning and information signs must be clearly
legible, affixed in clearly visible places and kept in good
condition.

When they are no longer necessary, they must be
removed.

Warnings must be brief and clear. The use of
standardised expressions should be considered.

Warning signs must never be mounted on live parts.
B.2 Danger warnings
What to do if relative humidity

99%?
Do not use the system if relative humidity

is 99 %.
What to do in case of flooding?
If the system is standing in water, leave the building at
once and turn off the power supply to the system as soon
as possible. There is a danger of electrocution due to the
high step voltage.
What to do in case of fire?
Any fire gives off harmful gases and substances; obviously
it is important to avoid exposure to these. The correct
resources must be used to fight fires (see also chapter
1.3.2, B.4 - Fire-fighting).
The responsible manager of the installation must have a
complete safety plan, specifying the appropriate measures.
