Duties of the Owner/Operating Company
The device is used in the commercial sector. The owner/operating company is thus subject to the legal
obligations of occupational safety.
In the EEA (European Economic Area), the national implementation of the Framework Directive
89/391/EEC on carrying out measures for improving safety and protecting the health of employees
during work, as well as the associated individual directives shall be observed and complied with in their
current valid versions.
Of particular importance in this connection is Directive 2009/104/EC on the minimum specifications
for safety and health protection of employees using work equipment in their work.
As a basic rule, in Germany the Industrial Safety Regulation (BetrSichV) must be observed.
In other countries, the respective national guidelines, statutes and country-specific regulations
regarding occupational safety and accident prevention are to be complied with.
At the same time, the following, non-exhaustive instructions apply in particular:
–
The operating company must ensure that the device is used only as intended
(see
section 2.1 Intended Use
–
The operating company must keep informed of the locally applicable occupational health and safety
regulations and, in addition, use a risk assessment to determine the hazards resulting from the
specific working conditions at the location of use of the device. This must then be implemented in
the form of operating instructions for the operation of the device.
–
When using hazardous materials, protective measures must be specified in accordance with the
safety data sheets and operating instructions shall be compiled for hazardous materials. Personnel
must be appropriately briefed about this. This also applies to hazardous substances that may arise
during work processes.
–
A continuous risk assessment must be carried out for workplaces, including temperature conditions
for the medium and the place of use (falling). The measures are to be defined in operating
instructions. Personnel must be instructed accordingly.
–
Supervisors must monitor compliance with the measures specified in the operating instructions.
–
Throughout the entire operating period of the device, the operating company must check whether
the operating instructions he has compiled reflect current legislation requirements and adapt them
as necessary.
–
The operating company must clearly regulate and specify the responsibilities of personnel (e.g. for
operation, maintenance and cleaning).
–
The operating company must allow only sufficiently qualified and authorized personnel to work on
the device.
–
The operating company must ensure that all employees handling the device have read and
understood the instructions.
Furthermore, it must provide personnel with training at regular intervals with certification and inform
them about the hazards.
–
The user must provide sufficient workplace lighting at the plant in accordance with the locally
applicable regulations for occupational health and safety in order to prevent hazards occurring as a
result of poor lighting.
