6. WORKING SAFELY INSIDE INSTALLATIONS & WITH MACHINERY
Electrical machines and cablesWORKING SAFELY INSIDE INSTALLATIONS & WITH MACHINERY
Machines with damaged cables constitute a major electrocution hazard and may never be used. Electrical machines and cables need to be in perfect condition.Keep cables away from passages and stairs as much as possible. Preferably use S-hooks to hang up cables.
DemarcationsWORKING SAFELY INSIDE INSTALLATIONS & WITH MACHINERY
Newly-built platforms, holes, … need to have a solid barrier (in wood or metal).
ScaffoldingWORKING SAFELY INSIDE INSTALLATIONS & WITH MACHINERY
Scaffolds may only be used when a valid S-permit is present.
No changes (not even temporarily moving a plank) are allowed to be made by unauthorised people.
Order and cleanliness, also on scaffolds!
Fall protectionWORKING SAFELY INSIDE INSTALLATIONS & WITH MACHINERY
In case of activities at height, fall protection is necessary.
Collective protective equipment is preferred.
If this is not possible fall protection harness needs to be worn.
Wearing and securing fall protection is compulsory in cherry pickers and scissor lifts.
All workers must leave their workplace clean and tidy after finishing work. This also helps us to prevent accidents.
