3.2
General safety instructions
Organizational measures
The operating instructions must always be at hand at
the place of operation of the machine/unit!
In addition to the operating instructions, all other
generally applicable legal and other mandatory
regulations relevant to accident prevention and
environmental protection must be adhered to and
passed on to others! These compulsory regulations
may also deal with the handling of hazardous materials
or the issuing/wearing of personal protective
equipment, or traffic regulations.
Instructions, including supervisory responsibility and
duty of notification for taking into account in-plant
factors, for example regarding work organization,
sequences of operations, personnel assigned to certain
tasks, are to be added to the operating manual.
The personnel entrusted with working on the machine
must have read the operating instructions and in
particular the chapter on safety regulations before
starting work. Reading the instructions after work has
begun is too late. This applies especially to persons
working only occasionally on the machine, e.g. for
setting up or maintenance.
Check on a regular basis that the personnel are
carrying out the work in compliance with the operating
instructions and that they are paying attention to the
safety requirements!
For safety reasons, long hair must be tied back or
otherwise secured, garments must be close-fitting and
no jewellery - such as rings - may be worn. Injury may
result from being caught up in the machinery or from
rings catching on moving parts! As necessary or as
required by regulations, personal protective equipment
should be used.
Observe all safety and warning notices attached to the
machine/unit!
See to it that safety instructions and warnings attached
to the machine are always complete and perfectly
legible.
In the case of safety-relevant changes to the machine/
unit or its operating behaviour, stop the machine/unit
immediately and report the fault to the responsible
department/person!
Spare parts have to comply with the technical
requirements specified by the manufacturer. This can
always be ensured by using original spare parts.
Hydraulic hoses have to be changed within stipulated
and periodic intervals, even if no safety-relevant faults
have been detected!
Adhere to prescribed intervals or those specified in the
operating instructions for routine checks and
inspections!
