Safety instructions
Access
Safe access to all working areas must
be guaranteed at all times.
Hatches and openings to accessible
working areas must be kept closed
during working operations.
Use walkways, stairs, stair towers or
site lifts as access routes. Ladders are
suitable for use as access routes in ex-
ceptional cases only.
Ladders must not be connected to
each other for more than two levels
and should be offset against one
another.
Ladders must be secured on the outer
side by means of appropriate anti-fall
equipment such as ladder cages or
safety nets.
Building edges at passages and open-
ings in accessible areas must be
secured.
In case of danger, it must be ensured
that working areas can be vacated via
emergency escape routes or rescue
equipment.
It must also be ensured that at least
one emergency escape route or piece
of rescue equipment can still be used if
the power supply fails.
Determine and apply all appropriate
measures.
Throughout the entire relocation proce-
dure, ensure that site personnel can
still use the emergency escape route.
In case the access hatches are blocked
when retracting the formwork, ensure
that site personnel can still use the
emergency escape route.

Protection against falling
components
Work activities may not be carried out
simultaneously on areas positioned on
top of each other if the lower working
areas are not protected against falling
objects.
Avoid installing working areas and ac-
cess routes in danger zones.
If this is not possible due to work pro-
cedures, suitable protective measures
must be available to provide protection
against falling objects. This also applies
to work that only takes a short period
of time.
Safety nets (mesh size ≤ 2 cm) and
platform planking are considered to be
suitable means and are to be installed
very close to the structure (distance
≤ 5 cm).
Secure tools and material to prevent
them from falling down. Remove con-
crete residue and other dirt as soon as
possible, at the latest before the next
climbing cycle. The platforms are to be
kept clean at all times.
Operational working areas at great
heights are to be secured by means of
appropriate structural measures to pre-
vent objects from falling down.
Components at risk of structural
collapse
Secure components that are likely to
become unstable with suitable means,
e.g. using push-pull props, or leave
them attached to the crane until the tip-
ping hazard has been eliminated.
Loitering in the tipping range is prohibit-
ed. Draw attention to and clearly mark
any danger zones.
If necessary, cordon off the danger
zones with suitable means. Check that
safety signs and barriers are in place
before commencing work.
