(Safety Guidelines, continued)
In all installations, especially those where the compactor is used
in a system with other equipment, it is the responsibility of
ownership and management to ensure that:
•
all required decals and labels are in place and
legible
•
the compactor and all of its safety devices are
operating properly
•
no one operates the compactor until they have read
completely through this manual and have been
thoroughly instructed in the operation, safety
requirements, capacities, and limitations of the
compactor.
The owner of this compactor is responsible for the training of all
of its operators, and for the proper maintenance of the equipment
and its labels and safety devices.
American National Standards Institute periodically affirms a
Standard for the design, manufacture, installation, and operation
of compactors. Compliance with the Standard is voluntary.
Summit Equipment, Inc. complies insofar as it is able to in the
design and manufacture of the compactor, and recommends that
employers / owners of compactors comply with ANSI Z245.2-
1997, section 6.1, as paraphrased and summarized in the
following items:
•
Make sure that the installation of the compactor is in
compliance with any applicable local codes or regulations,
and is in accordance with the recommendations of the
manufacturer.
