Responsibility of the operator
The machine is to be used commercially according to its intended use. The operator of the ma-
chine is therefore subject to statutory occupational health and safety provisions.
In addition to the general safety information contained in this document, any further safety, ac-
cident prevention and environmental regulations applicable to the field of application of the ma-
chine must also be observed.
In particular, operators have the following obligations:
They must always be fully informed of the most recent occupational safety regulations and
perform a risk assessment to identify any additional hazardous locations and places resulting
from the specific working conditions at the place of use. They must document any such find-
ings in the form of operating instructions (work instructions, work descriptions, etc.) for use
during operation.
During the entire service life of the machine, they must check whether the operating instruc-
tions they have written are compliant with current regulations and make any necessary ad-
justments.
They must unambiguously regulate and define who is responsible for carrying out installa-
tion, operation, maintenance and cleaning.
They must ensure that the staff deployed have the necessary qualifications for the work they
are instructed to perform.
They must ensure that all staff who work on the machine have read and understood all the
documents relevant for its operation (Operating Instructions, maintenance regulations, safety
guidelines).
The must provide training for the staff at regular intervals and inform them of potential dan-
gers.
They must bear the responsibility for personal injury and damage to property arising from
manipulation of the machine. For this reason, the machine and its safety equipment must be
inspected at regular intervals to ensure that they are in sound condition and functioning
properly, and the results of this inspection must be suitably documented.
They must ensure that the machine is always in a sound condition technically.
3.7.1
Preventive measures
It is recommended that the operator take the following preventive measures:
Only allow qualified, trained and properly instructed staff to work on the machine.
Unambiguously define the responsibilities of operating and service personnel.
Supplement these Operating Instructions with
o
stipulations deriving from national and regional labor and environmental regulations
o
adjust information covering specific operational aspects (workflows, supervisory obliga-
tions, reporting obligations, fire alarm equipment, etc.)
Occasionally check to confirm that the Operating Instructions are being used and that such
use is correct, and when necessary repeat the instruction process.
Ensure that all documentation is permanently available in a readable form and easily acces-
sible at the point of use.
Observe any periodic checks and inspections that are required (by law) or specified in this
document.
Replace in good time any components indicated in these documents as being crucial for
safety.
Regularly inspect the machine to ensure that the safety equipment operates correctly.
Make sure that safety information and hazard warnings on the machine and in the working
area are always legible.
Take steps to ensure that the machine is regularly inspected for visible damage and defects.
