User target groups
▪
This manual is aimed at all persons who will be work-
ing with the Doka product or system that it describes.
It contains information on the standard design for
setting up this system, and on correct, compliant uti-
lisation of the system.
▪
All persons working with the product described
herein must be familiar with the contents of this man-
ual and with all the safety instructions it contains.
▪
Persons who are incapable of reading and under-
standing this booklet, or who can do so only with dif-
ficulty, must be instructed and trained by the cus-
tomer.
▪
The customer is to ensure that the information mate-
rials provided by Doka (e.g. User Information book-
lets, Instructions for Assembly and Use, Operating
Instruction manuals, plans etc.) are available to all
users, and that they have been made aware of them
and have easy access to them at the usage location.
▪
In the relevant technical documentation and form-
work utilisation plans, Doka shows the workplace
safety precautions that are necessary in order to use
the Doka products safely in the usage situations
shown.
In all cases, users are obliged to ensure compliance
with national laws, Standards and rules throughout
the entire project and to take appropriate additional
or alternative workplace safety precautions where
necessary.
Hazard assessment
▪
The customer is responsible for drawing up, docu-
menting, implementing and continually updating a
hazard assessment at every job-site.
This document serves as the basis for the site-spe-
cific hazard assessment, and for the instructions
given to users on how to prepare and utilise the sys-
tem. It does not substitute for these, however.
Remarks on this document
▪
This manual can also be used as a generic method
statement or incorporated with a site-specific
method statement.
▪
Many of the illustrations in this booklet show the
situation during formwork assembly and are
therefore not always complete from the safety
point of view.
Any safety accessories not shown in these illustra-
tions must still be used by the customer, in accord-
ance with the applicable rules and regulations.
▪
Further safety instructions, especially warnings,
will be found in the individual sections of this
document!
Planning
▪
Provide safe workplaces for those using the form-
work (e.g. for when it is being erected/dismantled,
modified or repositioned etc). It must be possible to
get to and from these workplaces via safe access
routes!
▪
If you are considering any deviation from the
details and instructions given in this booklet, or
any application which goes beyond those
described in the booklet, then revised static cal-
culations must be produced for checking, as well
as supplementary assembly instructions.
Regulations; industrial safety
▪
All laws, Standards, industrial safety regulations and
other safety rules applying to the utilisation of our
products in the country and/or region in which you
are operating must be observed at all times.
▪
If a person or object falls against, or into, the side-
guard component and/or any of its accessories, the
component affected may only continue in use after it
has been inspected and passed by an expert.
