2.2 GENERAL SAFETY STANDARDS
The functioning of the MEWPS must be in compliance with international standards of refe‑
rence (see paragraph “NORMATIVE REFERENCES” in the first pages of the manual) and
national or regional standards if stricter.
The operator must read, understand and follow all the instructions and warnings, contained
in this manual and on the machine, regarding the safe use of the MEWPS.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS LISTED IN THIS SECTION
AND PROVIDED ON THE MACHINE CAN DAMAGE THE MACHINE AND CAUSE
INJURY OR EVEN DEATH, AND CONSTITUTES A SERIOUS BREACH OF THE SAFETY
RULES.
This section of the USER AND OPERATION MANUAL describes those procedures or dan‑
gerous situations that can cause damage/injury to objects/persons and explains what the
operator must do to prevent them.
• Operators must always act professionally, complying with safety standards, making sure
not to underestimate their responsibility to themselves and the surrounding objects and per‑
sons.
• Before starting work, operators must receive complete and clear training regarding the
use of the machine in standard and emergency conditions. They must examine, under‑
stand and take in all the instructions given in this user manual. They must be sure that
the safety devices are in perfect working order, perform the necessary checks on the
machine and be familiar with the conditions of the ground on which the machine is going
to be operated and stabilised.
• The presence of at least one specialist operator is necessary on the ground during work.
This person must know how to use the machine, be aware of the contents of the USER AND
OPERATION MANUAL and be able to intervene if necessary.
• It is prohibited to make modifications to the machine that could jeopardise functioning
and safety, without previous written authorisation from The Constructor which is not liable
for any injury or damage caused by this behaviour.
Clothing and protective equipment
Avoid wearing loose clothing, rings, watches or anything
else that may get caught in moving parts.
When using the machine or performing maintenance, wear a
hard hat, glasses, safety footwear, gloves and acoustic ear‑
muffs after making sure these and all other PPE that the
safety manager considers necessary based on the risk analy‑
sis performed are in perfect working condition.
