Personnel responsible for safety
Operator
ƒ
An operator is any natural or legal person who uses the drive system or on behalf of
whom the drive system is used.
ƒ
The operator or his safety officer must ensure
– that all relevant regulations, instructions and legislation are observed.
– that only qualified personnel work with and on the drive system.
– that the personnel have the Operating Instructions available for all corresponding
operations.
– that non−qualified personnel are prohibited from working with and on the drive
system.
Skilled personnel
Skilled personnel are persons who − because of their education, experience, instructions,
and knowledge about corresponding standards and regulations, rules for the prevention
of accidents, and operating conditions − are authorised by the person responsible for the
safety of the plant to perform the required actions and who are able to recognise potential
hazards.
(See IEC 364, definition of skilled personnel)

problems, please contact your Lenze representative.

At the time of delivery the drive system meets the state of the art and ensures safe
basic operation.

The drive system is a source of danger for persons, for the drive system itself, and for
other material assets of the operator, if

proper installation and with application as directed in fault−free operation and that
they do not cause hazards for persons. This also applies for their interaction with the
complete plant.

Be sure to take appropriate measures in the case of drive system failure so that no
material damage occurs.
