OPERATOR TRAINING

All protective clothing and devices must be in good conditions and clean
enough not to affect their protection capacity or wearing comfort. In particular,
heavy clothing must be used as required by the temperature on the jobsite:
thermal comfort contributes to keeping the attention threshold high. Overalls
should have no loose flaps that might hamper the operation of controls or get
caught on edges or rotating shafts. Gloves are necessary to protect the
hands from cuts and abrasions that can be produced when gripping wire
ropes or metal parts, but they should not reduce finger mobility nor get caught
on edges or on the controls. Avoid wearing rings or jewellery.
1.4 Safety signs
A poster should be placed in the jobsite with safety signs reminding to wear
the protective devices described above, as required by law. Figure 1.4.1
shows a few of these mandatory signs.
