be established by the machinery owner.

tain or repair the engine and the machinery.

work on the engine or the machinery under constant supervision of an experienced supervisor.

the commissioning of the machinery. Afterwards the Operator and Maintenance Manual has to
be a part of operator's manual of the manufacturer of the machinery.

commissioning the machine.
– Develop, document, implement, and enforce a safety and health program, adapted to the
machinery and its environment, and comply with the local regulations or at least with the Inter-

they regularly check the Operation and Maintenance Manual of the machinery. This is especially
to be repeated for the operators which occasionally operate the machinery.
