Safety instructions

System-specific

Safety instructions apply to all ser-
vice life phases of the system.
Make sure that the guardrails and/or
edge covers at building openings and
projections are fully installed before ac-
cessing the system.
Before entering the system, check for
completeness of the platform deck and
for danger spots and use PPE if
necessary.
Deshutter the concreting sections only
when the concrete has sufficiently
hardened and the person in charge has
given the go-ahead for deshuttering to
take place.
Anchoring is to take place only if the
anchorage has sufficient concrete
strength.
The anchoring of the balanced cantile-
ver equipment can only be released or
fixed on the instructions of the person
in charge.
The moving procedure must be moni-
tored by the person in charge at all
times.
Inspection of the anchoring and associ-
ated components must be carried out
by the party responsible.
As a result of the relocation procedure,
falling edges are formed between the
platforms. Such affected areas are to
be cordoned off.
Building materials or tools must not be
transported as part of the relocation op-
eration. Exceptions to this can be de-
termined through the operational work-
ing and assembly instructions.
The transport of persons during the re-
location process is strictly prohibited.
This does not apply to the operating
personnel required for relocation
operations.

Working areas at great heights are to
be secured by means of appropriate
measures to prevent objects from fall-
ing down.
The enclosure of the platform or
mounting of additional surfaces ex-
posed to the wind changes the degree
of stability and must be rechecked. If
necessary, additional measures must
be implemented.
Use a guide rope to ensure that assem-
bly units suspended from the crane are
fully under control when being moved.
Welding or abrasive cutting work is pro-
hibited on the platform due to the asso-
ciated fire hazard.
Reliable lightning conduction must be
ensured by the contractor.
Assembly work
The contractor must ensure that the
user has an appropriate and sufficient
number of tools, lifting equipment and
slings, suitable and sufficient space for
assembly and storage as well as ade-
quate crane capacity at his disposal.
During the transportation procedure,
only use the specified attachment
points for components.
Avoid standing under suspended loads.
If work under suspended loads cannot
be avoided, come up with suitable safe-
ty measures and apply them. Avoid
standing between a fixed object and an
object that is drawing near.
VBC Balanced Cantilever Hydraulic System – Hydraulic System and Standard Cycle
Secure interim assembly states by
means of temporary supports in order
to prevent any items from toppling
over.
The contractor must make a level as-
sembly area with sufficient load-bear-
ing capacity available.
Unexpected hazards can always arise
when assembly work is carried out.
Assess the degree of risk in each indi-
vidual case and, if necessary, take mea-
sures to prevent or minimise the risk.
If guardrails cannot be used or have to
be removed due to operational reasons,
safety equipment must be installed in
its place in order to prevent falls from
any height.
If the use of anti-fall equipment is
deemed to be inappropriate, personal
protection equipment (PPE) can be
used if suitable fixing points are
available.
Site personnel are forbidden to remain
in areas below where assembly work is
being carried out, unless the danger
zone has been provided with sufficient
protection against falling, overturned,
sliding or rolling objects and masses.
Cordon off and clearly mark any danger
zones and check that these are in place
and complete every time work is
commenced.
Do not walk on components and as-
sembly units.
Find a secure standing position next to
the components or assembly units.
Use assembly scaffolds.
Always keep components and assem-
bly units free of dirt, ice and snow.
