ORGANIZATIONAL MEASURES

The Operation,- Lubrication and Maintenance Manual must
always be at hand at the place of use of the machine, e. g. by
stowing them in the box provided for such purpose.
In addition to the Operation,- Lubrication and Maintenance
Manual, observe and instruct the user in all other generally
applicable legal and other mandatory regulations relevant to
accident prevention and environmental protection.
These compulsory regulations may also deal with the han-
dling of hazardous substances, issuing and/or wearing of per-
sonal protective equipment, or traffic regulations.
The Operation,- Lubrication and Maintenance Manual must
be supplemented by instructions covering the duties involved
in supervising and notifying special organizational features,
such as job organization, working sequences or the person-
nel entrusted with the work.
Personnel entrusted with work on the machine must have
read the Operation,- Lubrication and Maintenance Manual
and in particular the chapter on safety before beginning work.
Reading the instructions after work has begun is too late. This
applies especially to persons working only occasionally on
the machine, e. g. during setting up or maintenance.
Check - at least from time to time - whether the personnel is
carrying out the work in compliance with the Operation,-
Lubrication and Maintenance Manual and paying attention to
risks and safety factors.
For reasons of security, long hair must be tied back or other-
wise secured, garments must be close-fitting and no jewellery
- such as rings - may be worn. Injury may result from being
caught up in the machinery or from rings catching on moving
parts.
Use protective equipment wherever required by the circum-
stances or by law.
Observe all safety instructions and warnings attached to the
machine.
See to it that safety instructions and warnings attached to the
machine are always complete and perfectly legible.
In the event of safety-relevant modifications or changes in the
behaviour of the machine during operation, stop the machine
immediately and report the malfunction to the competent
authority/person.
Never make any modifications, additions or conversions
which might affect safety without the supplier's approval. This
also applies to the installation and adjustment of safety
devices and valves as well as to welding work on load-bear-
ing elements.
Spare parts must comply with the technical requirements
specified by the manufacturer. Spare parts from original
equipment manufacturers can be relied to do so.
