Instructions for Assembly and Use – Standard Configuration
Safety instructions
Cross-system
General
The contractor must ensure that the In-
structions for Assembly and Use sup-
plied by PERI are available at all times
and are understood by the site person-
nel.
These Instructions for Assembly and
Use can be used as the basis for creat-
ing a risk assessment. The risk assess-
ment is compiled by the contractor. The
Instructions for Assembly and Use do
not replace the risk assessment!
Always take into consideration and com-
ply with the safety instructions and per-
missible loads.
For the application and inspection of
PERI products, the current safety regu-
lations and guidelines must be observed
in the respective countries where they
are being used.
Materials and working areas are to be
inspected on a regular basis especially
before each use and assembly for:
signs of damage,
stability and
function.
Damaged components must be ex-
changed immediately on site and may
no longer be used.
Safety components are to be removed
only when they are no longer required.
Components provided by the contractor
must conform with the characteristics
required in these Instructions for As-
sembly and Use as well as with all valid
construction guidelines and standards.
In particular, the following applies if
nothing else is specified:
Timber components: Strength
Class C24 for Solid Wood according
to EN 338.
Scaffold tubes: galvanised steel
tubes with minimum dimensions of
Ø 48.3 x 3.2 mm according to
EN 12811-1:2003 4.2.1.2.
Scaffold tube couplings according
to EN 74.
Deviations from the standard configura-
tion are only permitted after a further
risk assessment has been carried out by
the contractor.On the basis of this risk
assessment, appropriate measures for
working and operational safety as well
as stability are to be determined.
Corresponding proof of stability can be
provided by PERI on request if the risk
assessment and resulting measures to
be implemented are made available.
Before and after exceptional occurrenc-
es that may have an adverse effect re-
garding the safety of the formwork sys-
tem, the contractor must immediately
create another risk assessment,
with appropriate measures for en-
suring the stability of the formwork
system being carried out based on
the results,
and arrange for an extraordinary in-
spection by a competent person.
The aim of this inspection is to
identify and rectify any damage in
good time in order to guarantee the
safe use of the formwork system.
Exceptional occurrences can include:
accidents,
longer periods of non-use,
natural events, e.g. heavy rainfall,
icing, heavy snowfall, storms or
earthquakes.
Assembly, modification and disman-
tling work
Assembly, modification or dismantling
of formwork systems may only be car-
ried out by qualified persons under the
supervision of a competent person. The
qualified persons must have received
appropriate training for the work to be
carried out with regard to specific risks
and dangers.
On the basis of the risk assessment and
Instructions for Assembly and Use, the
contractor must create installation in-
structions in order to ensure safe as-
sembly, modification and dismantling of
the formwork system.
The contractor must ensure that the
personal protective equipment required
for the assembly, modification or dis-
mantling of the system, e.g.
safety helmet,
safety shoes,
safety gloves,
safety glasses,
is available and used as intended.
If personal protective equipment against
falling (PPE) is required or specified in
local regulations, the contractor must
determine appropriate attachment
points on the basis of the risk assess-
ment.
The personal protective equipment
against falling to be used is determined
by the contractor.
The contractor must
provide safe working areas for site
personnel which are to be reached
through the provision of safe ac-
cess ways. Areas of risk must be
cordoned off and clearly marked.
ensure the stability during all stag-
es of construction, in particular dur-
ing assembly, modification and dis-
mantling of the formwork.
ensure and prove that all loads can
be safely transferred.
Utilisation
Every contractor who uses or allows
formwork systems or sections of the
formwork to be used, has the responsi-
bility for ensuring that the equipment is
in good condition.
If the formwork system is used succes-
sively or at the same time by several
contractors, the health and safety coor-
dinator must point out any possible mu-
tual hazards and all work must be then
coordinated.
