When rigging, derigging or servicing the fixture staying in the area below the installation place, on bridges,
under high working places and other endangered areas is forbidden.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by a skilled
person once a year.
The fixture should be installed outside areas where persons may walk by or be seated.

calculating working load limits, installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation
materials and the fixture. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself, but instead use
a professional structural rigger. Improper installation can result in bodily injury or damage to property.
The fixture has to be installed out of the reach of people.
The fixture must never be fixed swinging freely in the room.
