The conductor rails, collectors or other components (e.g. antennas), can fall down
during operations or during any other works on the system. This can cause severe
injuries or fatalities if they fall from great heights.
→ Wear protective headgear.
→ For installation, commissioning, troubleshooting and maintenance: Cordon off
the entire danger zone.
→ For decommissioning, disassembly and disposal: Cordon off the entire danger
zone. Sawn through, dissembled conductor rails must be handled carefully and
properly stored (container or transport box).
There is a risk of being ensnared by moving parts when the system is in
operation during installation, commissioning or service. For example, moving
parts include the machine and the collectors attached to it.
→ Travel at reduced speed!
→ Before working on the conductor rail, disconnect the conductor rail system
according to the 5 Safety Rules and secure it against being switched back on.
For the 5 Safety Rules, see Section 2.9
→ Wear closely fitting work clothing.
Abrasion from the sliding contacts, rails and plastic collects in the conductor rails,
the data rail and the support structure (substructure). This dust is very fine and is
a health hazard. Frequent handling can result in sensitization. Persons who
frequently spend longer periods in a heavily used system without protective
equipment must reckon with the following consequences:
Irritations of the mucous membranes

Respiratory diseases

Cancer

These consequences must also be expected if accumulations of dust are handled
without proper care (e.g. blowing out dust with compressed air).
→ In workplaces with long-term exposure and heavily use systems, take effective
measures to protect employees from the dust.
→ Wear personal protective equipment during all work on the conductor rail system
in which collected dust can be stirred up. In particular, wear personal protective
equipment when cleaning the system.
