Safety NOTICE! Nature and source of the danger Damage to the product or its surround‐ ings. Measure to be taken to avoid this danger. – Denotes a possibly damaging sit‐ uation. If the situation is disre‐ garded, the product or an object in its vicinity could be damaged.
Safety User qualification WARNING! Danger of injury with inadequately qualified personnel The operator of the system / equipment is responsible for ensuring that the qualifications are fulfilled. If inadequately qualified personnel work on the unit or loiter in the hazard zone of the unit, this could result in dangers that could cause serious injuries and material damage.
Safety Training Definition Electrical technician An electrical technician is able to complete work on electrical systems and recognise and avoid possible dangers independently based on his technical training and experience as well as knowledge of pertinent standards and regulations. An electrical technician must be able to per‐ form the tasks assigned to him independently with the assistance of drawing documentation, parts lists, terminal and circuit diagrams.
