Qualified Safety Personnel

Safety

This chapter deals with your safety and the safety of the system operators.
IMPORTANT Read this chapter carefully before working with the SafeZone™ Mini device
or with the machine that is protected by a SafeZone Mini device.
Only qualified safety personnel must install, connect, commission, and service
the SafeZone Mini safety laser scanner. Qualified safety personnel meet the
following criteria:
• They have adequate knowledge of the power-driven equipment to be
checked due to their specialist training and experience.
• The responsible machine owner has instructed them in the operation of
the machine and the current valid safety guidelines.
• They are sufficiently familiar with the applicable official health and
safety regulations, directives, and recognized engineering practice (for
example, DIN standards, VDE stipulations, engineering regulations
from other EU member states), so they can assess the work safety aspects
of the power-driven equipment.
• They have access to this user manual and have read them.
As a rule, these qualified safety personnel are from the electro-sensitive
protective equipment (ESPE) manufacturer or also those persons who have
been appropriately trained at the ESPE manufacturer, are primarily involved in
checking ESPE and are allocated the task by the organization operating the
ESPE.
