Safety

2Safety

The following chapters give detailed information on safety-relevant topics such as the intended

use of the monitor, relevant safety messages and warning signs on the monitor.

Furthermore, the personal protective equipment and personnel requirements are specified.

2.1 Intended Use

WARNING

Unauthorized persons must not be allowed to access the machine during operation.

Risk of severe injuries.

– Safety equipment and regulations must not be bypassed at any time.

– The operating personnel must make sure that unauthorized persons stay clear of the

monitor.

NOTICE

Improper use can cause damages.

Risk of property damage!

– Only do contamination measurements for the specified objects.

The customer, not the manufacturer, is responsible for all personal injury and property damage

resulting from a non-intended use. Safe operation cannot be guaranteed if the monitor is not

used according to the specifications.

The monitor is intended for the clearance measurement of specified pressurized gas cylinders

only.

Only authorized personnel that have received proper training concerning the risks of ionizing

radiation must operate the monitor.

2.2 Personnel Requirements

Instruction level

Requirements

Instructed person

E.g. the operator of the monitor. The employer instructs the

employees and provides them with the personal protective

equipment required for the assigned work.

Specialist

E.g. the radiation protection supervisor. Due to their technical

training, knowledge and experience as well as their awareness of

the relevant regulations, specialists are able to assess the assigned

work and to recognize possible hazards.

Qualified person

Periodic inspection after commissioning by the operating company

must be done by qualified persons or in case of particular hazards

by experts.

Unauthorized person

Unauthorized persons that do not fulfill the requirements outlined

here are not aware of the hazards in the work area. Therefore, keep

unauthorized persons away from the work area.
