2.6 The operator's responsibility

When using the unit in the commercial sector, the operator is subject to the legal
obligations on occupational safety.

In addition to the occupational safety instructions provided in these instructions, the
safety, accident prevention and environmental protection regulations applicable for
the location where the unit is operated must be observed.

The operator must

– obtain information about the applicable occupational safety regulations and

carry out a risk assessment to identify additional dangers, which arise due to the
special working conditions at the unit's operating site. This assessment must be
implemented in the form of operating instructions for the unit.

– check during the entire operating time of the unit whether the operating

instructions prepared by the operator correspond with the current status of the
regulations, and adapt them as necessary.

– secure dangerous areas that are created between the unit and other equipment

provided by the customer.

– clearly regulate and define the responsibilities for installation, operation,

maintenance and cleaning.

– define the unit operator's responsibility and authorise it to reject instructions

from third parties that are detrimental to safety.

– ensure that all personnel who handle the unit have read and understood the

instructions.
In addition, it must also train the personnel at regular intervals and notify them
of the dangers.

– ensure that these instructions and all other applicable regulations are readily

available to the operating and maintenance personnel.

– regularly check that the personnel are working in a safe manner in compliance

with these instructions while remaining aware of the dangers.

– provide the personnel with the required personal protective equipment.

– ensure that hearing protection is worn if the permissible noise level (85 dB(A)) is

exceeded at the operating site.

The operator is also responsible for ensuring that the unit is in perfect working
order. The following therefore applies:

– The operator must ensure that the cleaning and maintenance intervals defined

in these instructions are observed.

– The operator must have all safety equipment regularly checked for proper

functioning and completeness.
