Safety
This section provides an overview of all the important
safety issues for the best possible protection of per-
sonnel as well as for safe and fault-free operation.
Failure to comply with the instructions and safety notes
listed in this manual can lead to serious hazards.
2.1 System owner's responsibility
The unit is intended for commercial use. The system
owner is therefore subject to the legal obligations of
occupational health and safety regulations. In addition
to the safety notes in this manual, the applicable regula-
tions for safety, accident prevention and environmental
protection must also be complied with. In particular:
The system owner must be aware of the applicable
occupational health and safety regulations and carry
out a risk assessment to determine any additional
hazards that may exist or result from the specific
working conditions at the installation location of the
unit. The system owner has to create operating
instructions for the unit that reflect the results of this
risk assessment.
The system owner must ensure, throughout the
unit’s entire operating period, that the operating
instructions they create comply with the applicable
standards and guidelines and must adapt them as
required.
The system owner must clearly regulate and define
the responsibilities for assembly / installation, opera-
tion, maintenance and cleaning.
The system owner has to ensure that all individuals
who handle or use the unit have read and under-
stood this manual.
The system owner must regularly provide training
for the personnel and inform them of any dangers.
The system owner must provide the employees with
the required personal protective equipment.
The system owner is also responsible for ensuring that
the unit is always in a technically perfect condition. The
following therefore applies:
The system owner must ensure that the mainte-
nance intervals specified in this manual are
observed.
The system owner must have all safeguards tested
regularly to ensure that they are functional and com-
plete.
