As owner, you are obliged to inform and instruct the ope-
rating personnel in respect of applicable legal and accident
prevention regulations as well as the safety devices fitted. In
this context, bear in mind the varying specialised qualifica-
tions of your staff.

The operating personnel must understand the instruction
they are given, follow it as well as sign the documentation.

nel work in awareness of safety and of the hazards that are
involved. As owner, you should therefore obtain written con-
firmation from all members of staff that they have received
training/instruction.
