11. Permits to work
All work must be carried out or be supervised by a suitably competent person.
Installation and operating personnel should be trained in the correct use of the
product according to the Installation and Maintenance Instructions.
Where a formal 'permit to work' system is in force it must be complied with. Where

primary responsibility is safety.
Post 'warning notices' if necessary.

pushing, pulling, carrying or supporting a load by bodily force can cause injury

handling method depending on the circumstances of the work being done.
