
Appropriate certified personal protective
equipment must be used to ensure the safety of

Gloves
o
Safety boots
Where applicable and whenever necessary with
regard to the type of works carried out, use:

 Adequate collective protection equipment (nets,
handrails, etc.) must be installed to ensure safe
working at height.
 Observe an adequate tidiness and cleanliness of
formwork and climbing and formwork systems to
ensure their safe handling. The working platforms
are kept clean and tidy at all times, without tools,
bolts and any other parts in danger of falling from
them, and striking persons below.

Toeboards are placed at the outside face of the
platforms to prevent objects from falling to a lower
level. Moreover, safety nets can be installed at the
outside face of the platforms to prevent objects
from falling to a lower level. At the inside of the
platforms cover gaps with rubber or similar
material to prevent objects from falling to a lower
level. Avoid working below platforms where work
is carried out which might entail the hazard of
falling objects.
 Access to and between platforms is ensured
exclusively by ladders installed for this purpose.
After having accessed a platform, the ladder hatch
must be closed. All ladders should project 1 m
above the platform to which they provide access.

Spread sawdust or sand on any slippery surface
caused by spilling (release agent, etc.).
6.4.2. System-specific safety instructions

All persons responsible for the operation of the
climbing system must be qualified and trained and
must have read the User's Guide before handling
the system. The User's Guide should be constantly
accessible for reference.
 In the case of doubt or lack of information, please
contact the Technical Department of ULMA.

Travel sequences of the climbing system are carried
out under the supervision of the person in-charge
of the installation. This person must be trained for
the handling of climbing systems.

The employed crane must be of sufficient capacity
for the handling and assembly of the climbing
system parts.
 Check and verify all cables and slings. The
maximum angles between the slings during lifting
may not exceed 60º.

Strictly avoid the Lifting Hook MK suffering strong
blows and crushing from handling, storage and
transport, and above all, from the handling of the
formwork with it.
