Safety instructions
Assembly, modification and disman-
tling work
PERI systems may only be assembled,
modified or dismantled under the su-
pervision of a person qualified to do so
and by technically suitable employees.
The qualified personnel must have re-
ceived appropriate training for the work
to be carried out with regard to specific
risks and dangers.
On the basis of the risk assessment
and Instructions for Assembly and Use,
the contractor must create installation
instructions in order to guarantee safe
assembly, modification and dismantling
of the climbing unit.
The contractor must ensure that the
personal protective equipment required
for the assembly, modification or dis-
mantling of the scaffolding system, e.g.
■
Safety helmet,
■
Safety shoes,
■
Safety gloves,
■
Safety goggles
is available and used as intended.
For work at a higher level, use an ap-
proved ladder or platform system, or an
assembly scaffold.

Assembly Instructions
If personal protective equipment
against falling from a height (PPE) is re-
quired or specified in local regulations,
the contractor must determine appro-
priate attachment points on the basis of
the risk assessment.
The PPE to be used to prevent falling is
determined by the contractor.
The contractor must
■
provide safe working areas for site
personnel, which are to be reached
through the provision of safe access
ways. cordon off and clearly mark
danger zones.
■
guarantee stability during all stages
of construction, in particular during
assembly, modification and disman-
tling operations.
■
ensure and demonstrate that all
loads that occur are safely
transferred.
Use
Every contractor who uses or allows
the PERI systems to be used is respon-
sible for ensuring that the equipment is
in good condition.
If the system is used successively or at
the same time by several contractors,
the health and safety coordinator must
point out any possible mutual hazards
and all work must be then coordinated.
When systems are used in publicly ac-
cessible areas
■
measures to prevent unauthorised
use, e.g. enclosure of access areas,
must be taken.
■
Measures are taken against injuries
caused by bumping against protrud-
ing components, e.g. assembly of
protective components.
Always keep the contact surfaces of
the system free of dirt, objects, snow
and ice.
Close off the system in extreme weath-
er conditions.
