5.2.3 Work area lighting
“Pillar” GBA-CBE and “wall” GBP-MBE jib crane series are not equipped with their own lighting system.
Consequently, the workplace of the operator assigned to use the crane must be adequately lighted and
ensure maximum visibility.
The level of ambient light must always be such as to ensure the maximum
possible safety for crane operations (fig. 78).
It is mandatory to install supplementary lighting systems in areas that are
not sufficiently lit, thus preventing shadow areas that inhibit or reduce the
visibility in the operating and/or surrounding areas
5.2.4 Operator
The operators
are all of those who carry out the following activities on the jib crane on a time-to-time basis:
•
transport, handling, assembly, installation, adjustments and the acceptance test
•
commissioning, use, cleaning, maintenance and repair
•
disassembly, dismantling and demolition
The operators
need to be persons suitable for the work and mentally and physically able to meet the needs
connected with the activities correlated with the jib crane during all the operating phases and in particular
during the slinging and handling phases.
The operator assigned to use
of the cranes must position himself in a manner that is not dangerous for
his safety, predicting and thus preventing possible falls or dangerous movements of the transported load.
Instructions are provided below to obtain greater safety for himself and others in using the machine,
specifically the instructions in the manual must be scrupulously followed.
The operator must not allow anyone to come close during the use of the
jib crane and prevent it from being used by unauthorised personnel,
especially minors under age 16.
The use of the crane by unauthorised and uninformed persons is prohibited.
The operator must always use adequate personal protection equipment
(P.P.E. = gloves, protective shoes)
