INSTRUCTIONS TO THE COMPANY MANAGER
THE SITE
Proper management of stacker's area of travel can reduce the risk of accidents . The following basic precautions will contribute
to this :
- passageways must be kept in a good state of repair and free of obstructions,
- ramp gradients must not be too steep,
- pedestrian traffic must be controlled .
THE OPERATOR
Only qualified, authorized personnel may use the stacker . This authorization is to be given in writing by the person in the
company, responsible for the use of the stacker, and must be carried by the operator at all times .
Experience has shown that there are a number of inappropriate ways in which the stacker might be used. Such
foreseeable misuse, of which the main examples are listed below, are strictly forbidden :
• The foreseeable abnormal behaviour resulting from ordinary negligence, but which does not result from any wish
to put the machinery to any improper use,
• The reflex reactions of a person in the event of a malfunction, incident, fault, etc. during operation of the stacker,
• Behaviour resulting from application of the "principle of least effort" when performing a task,
• For certain machines, the foreseeable behaviour of such persons as : apprentices, teenagers, handicapped persons,
trainees tempted to operate a stacker, operators tempted to operate a stacker to win a bet, in competition or for their
own personal experience.
The person in charge of the equipment must take these criteria into account when assessing whether or not a person will
make a suitable operator.
