the specific working conditions prevailing at the site where
the actuator is installed using risk assessment. Risk as-
sessment must be implemented in the form of work in-
structions for the actuator operation.
• Confirm that the work instructions created for the system
including the actuator satisfy current legal requirements
and the work instructions must be altered if they don’t.
• Clearly regulate and specify the responsibilities for instal-
lation, operation, maintenance, and cleaning.
• Ensure that all employees who deal with the actuator have
