2.2 Safety instructions for transportation, installation and
assembly
The installation of the small wastewater treatment system, pipes and shafts must be supervised at all times
by a person present on the construction site who is qualified in the construction, installation, retrofitting
and renovation of small wastewater treatment systems and septic tanks.
All transportation and installation work must be carried out by suitably skilled or qualified personnel. Local
health and safety and accident prevention regulations must be observed.
There is generally an increased risk of accidents on construction sites and when handling heavy and large
loads. Accidents involving lifting equipment and construction machinery can result in serious injury or
death. If excavations are not carried out correctly, people can be buried by slipping or collapsing pit walls.
