Operator
’
s obligation of diligence
The elevator machine has been designed and built after consideration of a risk analysis and after
careful selection of the harmonised standards to be complied with as well as other technical speci
fi
ca-
tions. It therefore complies with the state of the art and guarantees maximum safety during operation.
However, this safety can only be achieved in practical operation when all the necessary measures are
taken. The machine operator therefore has a duty of care to ensure that these measures are planned
and to supervise their execution.
In particular, the operator must ensure that
"
"
the elevator machine is used as intended (see chapter
“

)
"
"
the installation is operated in a
fl
awless, functional condition and the safety devices are periodically
checked for their properly functioning condition
"
"
The required personal safety gear is available to and used by the operating, maintenance and
repair personnel
"
"
the operating instructions are available at the location where the elevator machine is being used,
are complete and are in legible condition
"
"
su
ffi
ciently quali
fi
ed and authorized personnel operate, maintain and repair the elevator machine
"
"
these personnel receive regular instruction in all relevant industrial safety and environmental
protection issues and are familiar with the operating instructions and the safety instructions they
contain
"
"
all safety and warning notices attached to the elevator machine are never removed and remain
legible
2.8
Employment of external personnel
Maintenance and service work is frequently carried out by external personnel who are often unfamiliar
with the speci
fi
c circumstances and the resulting hazards.
These persons must be comprehensively informed about the hazards in their area of activity.
You must monitor their working methods in order to intervene in good time if necessary.
