4.4
Promoting use of operating manuals
Operating manuals are rules that the employer puts together for safe operational procedures.
This refers to binding instructions that the employer issues within the context of his
management rights. Employees are obliged by accident prevention guidelines to follow these
instructions.
The general obligation of the employer to create operating manuals and make them public
must be derived from the accident prevention guideline "General Instructions". According to
this guideline, the employer has to fulfil the instructions for preventing work-related accidents
and must instruct the insured party about risks occurring during their work and the measures
for averting said risks. These requirements can be fulfilled with the aid of operating manuals.
This operating manual is to supplement national guidelines on accident prevention and
environmental protection! e.g.:
EN 60204-1 and EC directive 89/655/EEC regarding basic instructions for safety and health
protection when work equipment is being used by employees during work.
The following notes must be given to the employee:
-
The risks that arise from working with the load suspension devices used and the
necessary protective measures and codes of conduct including instructions in the case of
danger and first aid instructions
-
Type and scope of regular inspections for a safe working environment
-
Maintenance
-
Remedying operational faults
-
Environmental protection
-
Safe handling of electrical equipment.
The user must ensure cleanliness and clarity at the place where the swivel arm hoist is
set up by using instructions and checks.
The responsibilities during setting up and removal (assembly), as well as during operating
and maintenance, must be clearly regulated by the user and adhered to by all persons so
that no unclear competencies occur with regard to safety.
The user must be obliged to operate the swivel arm hoist only in fault-free condition.
He/she is obliged to report immediately to the superior any changes occurring to the
swivel arm hoist that affect safety.
