When drilling holes in the wall for installation
purposes, take care not to damage any
electrical wiring or existing piping.
Electrocution caused by contact with live
wires. Explosions, fires or asphyxiation
caused by gas leaking from damaged piping.
Damage to existing installations.
Flooding caused by water leaking from
damaged piping.
Perform all electrical connections using
wires which have a suitable section.
Fire caused by overheating due to electrical
current passing through undersized cables.
Protect all connection pipes and wires
in order to prevent them from being
damaged.
Electrocution caused by contact with live wires.
Explosions, fires or asphyxiation caused by gas
leaking from damaged piping.
Flooding caused by water leaking from

Make sure the installation site and any
systems to which the appliance must be
connected comply with the applicable
norms in force.
Electrocution caused by contact with live
wires which have been installed incorrectly.
Damage to the appliance caused by improper
operating conditions.
Use suitable manual tools and equipment
(make sure in particular that the tool is
not worn out and that its handle is fixed
properly); use them correctly and make sure
they do not fall from a height. Replace them
once you have finished using them.
Personal injury from the falling splinters or
fragments, inhalation of dust, shocks, cuts,
pricks and abrasions.
Damage to the appliance or surrounding
objects caused by falling splinters, knocks
and incisions.
Use electrical equipment suitable for its
intended use (in particular, make sure
that the power supply cable and plug are
intact and that the parts featuring rotary
or reciprocating motions are fastened
correctly); use this equipment correctly; do
not obstruct passageways with the power
supply cable, make sure no equipment could
fall from a height. Disconnect it and replace
it safely after use.
Personal injury caused by falling splinters
or fragments, inhalation of dust, knocks,
cuts, puncture wounds, abrasions, noise
and vibration.
Damage to the appliance or surrounding
objects caused by falling splinters, knocks
and incisions.
Make sure any portable ladders are
positioned securely, that they are suitably
strong and that the steps are intact and not
slippery and do not wobble when someone
climbs them. Ensure someone provides
supervision at all times.
Personal injury caused by falling from

Make sure any rolling ladders are positioned
securely, that they are suitably strong, that
the steps are intact and not slippery and
that the ladders are fitted with handrails on
either side of the ladder and parapets on the
landing.
Personal injury caused by falling from a
height.
During all work carried out at a certain height
(generally with a difference in height of more
than two metres), make sure that parapets
are used to surround the work area or that
individual harnesses are used to prevent
falls. The space where any accidental fall
may occur should be free from dangerous
obstacles, and any impact upon falling
should be cushioned by semi-rigid or
deformable surfaces.
