KSP SHAFT PLATFORM
•
Only access one platform from another using the
ladder installed for that purpose. Always leave the
ladder hatches closed after accessing a platform.
All ladders must extend 1m above the accessing
platform.
•
Spread sawdust or sand on all slippery surfaces,
where there has been a spill (hydraulic fluid, release
agent, etc.).
6.3.2.
Safety measures specific to the system
•
All personnel, handling the KSP shaft platform,
must be trained and must have read the “User's
guide” before working with said equipment.
Additionally, they must have access to the user's
guide at all times.
•
If they have doubts or need more information, they
should contact ULMA personnel.
•
The sequences of movement of the KSP shaft
platform will be always realized under the
supervision of the agent of the installation that will
be formed properly in the use of the system.
•
During the assembly of the KSP shaft platform, the
used crane must be strong enough to lift and
transport all the components and assembled sets.
•
Check all the cables and slings. The maximum angle
between slings mustn’t be bigger than 60º.
•
Before beginning to lift the platform, take the
appropriate measures to close the lateral accesses
to the platforms in order to avoid accidental falls.
•
The KSP shaft platform should never be used for
the purpose of lifting materials or personnel.
Ensure that the number of persons present on the
working platforms is kept to the absolute minimum
number required for each operation
•
Do not stay under the lifting loads and do not help
the lifting loads with hands. To guide the lifting
loads, use auxiliary elements as ropes,…
•
If, due to conditions of the work environment, the
crane operator does not have the capacity to view
the whole trajectory over which the load is moved,
the transport operations will be guided by a
signalman, who will communicate with the crane
operator using predefined signals.
•
During the lifting process, to avoid collisions
between various climbing structures, pay special
attention to the angles between the structures and
to any other object that could interfere with the
movement of the system while it is being lifted.
•
The structure and its components must be
assembled in accordance with the instructions and
technical drawings provided by ULMA. All bolts,
connections, tie rods, pins, etc.. must be properly
assembled.
•
All working platforms on the climbing structure
must always be kept clean of ice and snow, even
when personnel is not working on them.
•
The maximum allowable wind speed, when
working on the climbing equipment, is 64km/h.
The customer is responsible for checking the wind
speed every time a lifting process is going to be
performed. The platforms must be evacuated when
the maximum speed is exceeded, and elements on
the platforms must be secured to keep them from
falling.
•
To correctly operate the climbing system, the
customer should ensure that there is always a
minimum lighting of 100 lux in the work areas, and
more specifically in the areas where the operating
equipment will be controlled.
•
In the case of extreme wind speeds, i.e. when the
system is out of service, all personnel must be
evacuated from the climbing structure. Formwork
must be drawn in close to the wall and secured in
the climbing brackets.
