Personnel Development And Training; Dangers In Case Of Non-Observance Of The Safety Notes; Safety-Conscious Way Of Working; Safety Notes For The Operator/User - Zehnder SchmUFB 200 Betriebsanleitung

2.2 Personnel development and training

The personnel responsible for operation, maintenance, inspection and assembly must have the corresponding
qualifications for those types of work. Area of responsibility, competence and the surveillance of the personnel
must be regulated precisely by the operator. If the personnel do not possess the necessary knowledge, they
must be trained and instructed. By order of the operator, the instruction and training, if necessary, can be
carried out by the manufacturer/supplier. Furthermore the operator must make sure that the personnel have
completely understood the content of the operation manual.

2.3 Dangers in case of non-observance of the safety notes

The non-observance of the safety notes can cause dangers to persons as well as to the environment and the
machine. If the safety notes are not observed, this can result in the loss of all compensation claims.
In detail, non-observance can for instance result in the following damages for example:
- Failure of important functions of the machine/unit
- Failure of the prescribed methods for maintenance and repair
- Endangerment of persons through electrical, mechanical and chemical influences
- Endangerment of the environment through leakage of hazardous substances

2.4 Safety-conscious way of working

The safety notes listed in this operation manual, the existent national regulations on accident prevention as
well as possible internal working, operating, and safety instructions of the operator must be observed.

2.5 Safety notes for the operator/user

- Hot or cold machine components which could cause danger must be secured against contact by the
customer.
- Protection against contact with moving parts (e.g. coupling) must not be removed while the machine is
operating.
- Leakages (e.g. of the shaft sealing) of hazardous materials to be conveyed (e.g. explosive, toxic, hot) must
be discharged in such a way that no danger arises for persons or the environment. The legal requirements
must be observed.
- Endangerments through electric power must be eliminated (details concerning this, see e.g. the regulations
of the VDE (German Association for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technology) and the local energy
suppliers).

2.6 Safety notes concerning maintenance, inspection, and assembly works

The operator must make sure that all maintenance, inspection, and assembly works are carried out by
authorised, skilled, and qualified personnel which are adequately informed by having thoroughly studied the
operation manual.
Generally, works on the machine are only to be carried out when the machine is turned off. The procedure of
switching off the machine, which is described in the operation manual, must be observed at all costs.
Pumps or pump units which convey media that are hazardous to health must be decontaminated. Immediately
after completion of the works, all safety and protection devices must be reattached or reactivated.
Before restart, the points listed in the chapter commissioning must be taken into consideration..
