2.2 Personnel qualification and training
All personnel for the operation, maintenance, inspection and installation must
be fully qualified to perform that type of job. Responsibility, competence and the
supervision of such personnel must be strictly regulated by the user.
Should the available personnel be lacking the necessary qualification, they
must be trained and instructed accordingly. If necessary, the operator may
require the manufacturer/supplier to provide such training. Furthermore the
operator/user must make sure that the personnel fully understands the contents
of the operation instructions.
2.3 Dangers where safety guidelines are ignored
Ignoring the safety directions and symbols may pose a danger to humans as
well as to the environment and the machine itself. Non-observance may void
any warranties.
Non-observance of safety directions and symbols may
for example entail the
following:
- Failure of important functions of the machine/plant
- Failure of prescribed methods for maintenance and repair
- Endangerment of persons through electrical, mechanical and chemical effects
- Danger to the environment because of leakage of hazardous material
- Danger of damage to equipment and buildings
2.4 Safety awareness during operation
The safety directions contained in the operation instructions, existing national
regulations for the prevention of accidents as well as internal working-, opera-
tional- and safety-regulations of the operator/user must be observed at all
times.
2.5 Operator safety guidelines
If hot or cold machine parts pose a danger, such parts must be protected by the
operator/user against contact with personnel.
Protective covers for moving parts (e.g. coupling) must not be removed when
the machine is running.
Leakages (e.g. at the shaft seal) of hazardous pumping media (e.g. explosive,
toxic, hot liquids) must be disposed of in such a way that any danger for per-
sonnel and the environment is removed. All government regulations must be
observed at all times.
Any danger to persons etc. by electrical energy must be excluded. For details
see e.g. regulations of VDE and the local utilities.
