System-Specific
Assembly work
The contractor must ensure that the
user has the appropriate and sufficient
number of tools, lifting equipment and
slings, suitable and sufficient space for
assembly and storage, as well as ade-
quate crane capacity at his disposal.
There is always the possibility of unfore-
seen risks arising during assembly work.
The level of risk is to be estimated ac-
cording to each individual case and, if
necessary, measures are to be taken to
avoid or at least to minimise the risk.
If guardrails cannot be used due to tech-
nical reasons or have to be removed, the
area of risk must be cordoned off and all
personnel working on the slab edges
must be secured using other means,
e.g. personal protective equipment to
prevent falling from a height (PPE).
Use a guide rope to ensure that assem-
bly units suspended from the crane are
fully under control when being moved.
Persons are not allowed to remain under
suspended loads or between loads and
the structure.
Personnel must keep away from the
area below where assembly work is be-
ing carried out if the area of risk is not
protected from objects that could fall, tip
over, slide or roll away. The area of risk
is to be cordened off.
Access means
Safe access to all working areas must be
guaranteed at all times.
Preferred options are walkways, stairs,
stair towers or site lifts. Ladders are only
suitable for use as access means in ex-
ceptional cases.
In the case of an emergency situation,
the working areas must have escape
routes in place or suitable rescue equip-
ment available.
It must also be ensured that at least one
emergency escape route or piece of res-
cue equipment can still be used if the
power supply fails.
The access areas on the jobsite must be
free of obstacles and tripping hazards,
as well as being slip-resistant.
Safety Instructions
Protection against falling objects
Avoid installing working areas and ac-
cess points in areas of risk. If this is not
possible due to work procedures, suita-
ble protection equipment must be availa-
ble. This also applies to work requiring
only a short period of time.
Tools and materials are to be secured to
prevent them from falling to the ground.
Concrete excess and other forms of dirt
are to be removed at regular intervals.
The platforms are to be kept clean at all
times. During operating conditions,
working areas at great heights are al-
ways to be secured against falling ob-
jects through the use of suitable con-
struction measures.
