2 Examination
2.1Examination by machine operator
Prior to each shift, the machine operator has to examine the
effectiveness of the control and safety devices as well as
the proper fitting of the protection devices.
The safe working condition of construction machinery has to
be checked by the machine operator during operation.
If the safety devices show any defects or if any other
defects are detected that compromise a safe operation, the
supervisor has to be informed immediately.
In case of defects that cause harm to persons, the operation
of the construction machine has to be stopped to eliminate
the defects.
2.2Periodic inspection
Construction machinery has to be inspected for their safe
working condition in accordance with the operating
conditions and the operational requirements as needed,
however at least once a year by an expert.
Pressure vessels have to undergo the prescribed expert
inspections.
The inspection results have to be documented and kept at
least until the next inspection.
