Responsibility of the owner

Information on safety at work refers to the regulations of the European Union that apply when the DRF 200 friction
wheel travel drive is manufactured. The owner is obliged to ensure that the specified industrial safety measures
comply with the latest rules and regulations and to observe new regulations during the entire service life of the
DRF 200 friction wheel travel drive. Local industrial safety legislation and regional regulations and codes of prac‐
tice applicable at the site of operation of the DRF 200 friction wheel travel drive must be observed outside the
European Union.
General safety, accident prevention and environmental protection regulations that apply where the DRF 200 fric‐
tion wheel travel drive is in operation must be observed and complied with in addition to the safety instructions
contained in these assembly instructions.
The owner and any personnel authorised by him are responsible for correct operation of the DRF 200 friction
wheel travel drive and for clearly defining responsibilities for installation, operation, maintenance and cleaning.
The assembly instructions must be followed in full and without any limitations.
Special local conditions or applications may lead to situations which are not considered in these assembly instruc‐
tions. In such cases, the required safety measures must be defined and implemented by the owner. Necessary
measures may also relate, for example, to the handling of hazardous materials or tools and the provision/wearing
of personal protection equipment. The assembly instructions must, if required, be supplemented by the owner
with instructions relating to organisation of work, working procedures, authorised personnel, supervising and re‐
porting obligations, etc. For further information, see  "Safety instructions for operation", Page 34.
Furthermore, the owner must ensure that
● any further working and safety instructions resulting from the risk assessment of the workplaces at the installa‐
tion are specified in operating procedures.
● personnel who work with or on the installation are provided with appropriate first-aid equipment. Personnel
must be trained in the use of the first-aid equipment.
