Only use safety harness equipment (harnesses or belts,
ropes and straps, fall arresters, rope shorteners) that has
been approved by authorised testing authorities.
Do not use damaged ladders e.g. splintered stringers and
rungs on wooden ladders, bent or kinked metal ladders.
Do not patch up splintered or broken stringers, steps and
rungs of wooden ladders.
Make sure that lean-to ladders are propped securely.
Secure lean-to ladders against slipping, falling over and
sinking into the ground e.g. by using wider feet, adjust-
ing the ladder feet to the ground surface, securing/hook
fixtures.
Only lean ladders against secure supporting surfaces.
Cordon off ladders in traffic areas.
Only the prescribed heat transfer medium may be used.
Safety harnesses must be secured above the user if
possible. Only secure safety harnesses to building ele-
ments or connection points with sufficient load-bearing
capacity.
When using lean-to ladders, there is a risk of dangerous
falls if the ladder sinks, slips or falls over.
If no non-personal fall protection or fall arrest system is
used there is a risk of falling from a great height which
can lead to serious or fatal injury if no safety harness or
equipment is used.
Contact with live overhead electrical cables and wiring
can lead to mortal injury.
Work in the vicinity of live, electrical cables and wiring,
where contact is possible, can only be carried out if:
• they are voltage-free and it is ensured that they re-
main so for the duration of the work to be carried out
• the live elements are secured by being covered up or
cordoned off
• safety distances are observed
Voltage radius
3.5 ft .......................................................... up to 1000 V
7 ft .......................................................... 1000 V to 11000 V
10 ft .......................................................... 11000 V to 22000 V
14 ft .......................................................... 22000 V to 38000 V
> 16 ft if the voltage is not known
Wear protective goggles when drilling or handling
