THEM,

2.1 - SAFETY RULES
•
Before beginning the work, make sure that all protections, handles,
guards around the control station and safety devices - including those for
the hook and framework - are in proper working order.
•
The crane operator must make sure that all accessories, attached to the
crane, fit the crane and have been verified for the use they are intended to
be used.
DANGER OF INTOXICATION
•
It is necessary to deviate the exhaust gases in case the operator’s station
is located in proximity of the exhaust pipe.
DANGER OF CRANE FALLING PARTS
•
When using the crane, the operator must wear a hard hat.
•
Clothing suitable for the local climate must be worn, bearing in mind that
the crane does not have a cab.
•
As the crane is not equipped with its own lighting system, it cannot be
used in the dark.
DANGER OF SQUEEZING
•
The load shall not pass over the operator’s head or any other persons.
DANGER OF ELECTROCUTION
•
During manoeuvres, the boom and load must always be at least 5 metres
away from any electric power lines in the vicinity. Any more restrictive
national standards must be complied with. In the case of prolonged
exposure to risk, it is good practice to earth the crane properly.
