Safety manual
Concrete delivery and placing machines
2.7.4 Moving machine
components and
hot surfaces
Keep all access covers, maintenance flaps, guards, etc. closed
and locked during operation. This also applies to the grille, water
box cover, and covers on cylinders, for example. There is otherwise
a risk of injury from moving parts of the machine and a risk of burning
on hot surfaces. In particular, there is a risk of burns from the
engine, attached parts and the exhaust.
Never start work unless the grille is closed and bolted down or
otherwise secured.
Do not touch moving parts of the machine, whether the machine
is running or switched off. Always switch off the engine first, and
dump the accumulator pressure where an accumulator is fitted.
Never poke any objects (e.g. a shovel handle, trowel or similar) into
moving machine components. Such objects could become trapped
and dragged into the machine. They might then hit you or be torn
from your hands and cause you injury.
2.7.5 Constant observation
of the machine
2.7.6 Truck mixer
You should be constantly observing the machine for any damage
or faults while it is in use. In the event of faults or malfunctions that
impair safety at work, shut the machine down immediately and
secure it. Have the faults rectified immediately. If it is not possible
to rectify faults which jeopardize the safe operation of the machine,
you must suspend operations until the defects are rectified.
As the machine operator, it is your role to instruct the truck mixer
drivers delivering the concrete to you. Only allow the truck mixer
drivers to work alone once you are certain that they have understood
your instructions.
Make sure that no–one stands between the approaching truck
mixer and the machine. There is a danger of being crushed
between the truck mixer and the machine.
