GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Please be aware that our General Assembly Regulations must be adhered to.
They can be viewed under www.k2-systems.com/en/downloads/product-information.html
In general, the following applies:
¬ Systems may only be installed and put into use by people who can ensure the proper carrying-out of the
work due to their technical suitability (e.g. training or occupation) and/or experience.
¬ Before assembly, it must be checked that the product meets the local static requirements. For roof systems,
the load-bearing capacity of the roof has to be checked in principle.
¬ National and local building regulations, standards and environmental regulations are always to be adhered
to.
¬ Work safety and accident prevention regulations and corresponding standards and regulations of occupati-
onal associations are to be adhered to! In particular, it is to be ensured that:
- Safety clothing is worn (especially safety helmets, work shoes and gloves).
- For work on roofs, the regulations for working on roofs are to be adhered to (e.g. use of anti-fall
guards, scaffolding with arrestor equipment from an eaves height of 3m etc.)
- Presence of two people is vital for the entire course of the assembly, so that swift help can be ensured
in the case of an accident.
¬ K2 mounting systems are constantly being developed further. Because of this, assembly procedures can
change. Therefore, before assembly, always check that the assembly instructions are up-to-date under
www.k2-systems.com/en/downloads/product-information.html. We can also send you the latest versi-
on on request.
