The workforce must only consist of persons who can be expected
to carry out their work reliably. Persons with impaired reactions due
to, for example, the consumption of drugs, alcohol, or medication
are prohibited.
When selecting personnel, the age-related and occupation-related
regulations governing the usage location must be observed.
1.4.3 General Safety Notes
DANGER!
Life-threatening hazard from electric shock!
There is an imminent life-threatening hazard from elec-
tric shocks from live parts. Damage to insulation or to
specific components can pose a life-threatening
hazard.
– Only a qualified electrician should perform work on
the electrical equipment.
– Immediately switch off the power supply and have
it repaired if there is damage to the insulation.
– Before beginning work at live parts of electrical
systems and resources, cut the electricity and
ensure it remains off for the duration of the work.
Comply with the five safety rules in the process:
– cut electricity;
– safeguard against restart;
– ensure electricity is not flowing;
– earth and short-circuit; and
– cover or shield neighbouring live parts.
– Never bypass fuses or render them inoperable.
Always use the correct amperage when changing
fuses.
– Keep moisture away from live parts. Moisture can
cause short circuits.
WARNING!
Hazards due to insufficient prime mover protection
The engine, turbine, or other type of prime mover
should be equipped with an overspeed (overtempera-
ture, or overpressure, where applicable) shutdown
device(s), that operates totally independently of the
prime mover control device(s) to protect against run-
away or damage to the engine, turbine, or other type of
prime mover with possible personal injury or loss of life
should the mechanical-hydraulic gov-ernor(s) or elec-
tric control(s), the actuator(s), fuel control(s), the
driving mechanism(s), the linkage(s), or the controlled
device(s) fail.
