Safety Instructions
Climbing and using the ladder:
  1. Climb the ladder facing it.
  2. When you lean sideways, outward from the ladder, your navel should never be outside the edge of the ladder’s frame.
  3. Always keep 3 points of contact (two feet and one hand, two hands one foot) with the ladder when working on it. This will reduce the risk of falling.
  4. Never climb the topmost four rungs of a ladder.
2.4 Handling Heavy Goods:
  1. Use tested and approved lifting devices only. They must only be used by trained personnel.
  2. Always check that all parts of the lifting devices are intact.
  3. Make sure that all lifting devices are properly stabilized or attached to fixed objects such as walls or buildings before lifting.
  4. Give clear and consistent command signals, for example
    • lift
    • lower
    • stop
  5. Make sure that there is never an angle of more than 90_ between the straps at the point where they are attached to the lifting hook.
  6. Too large an angle between the lifting straps increases the strain on them and may cause them to snap. Overloading, or wrong use of lifting devices in other ways, can have catastrophic consequences.
  7. Never walk under hoisted loads.
  8. Follow local regulations for safety clothing and safety equipment for hoisting and moving goods.
  9. Unsecured cabinets have a high center of gravity. They can easily tip over and harm personnel.
WARNING
There is a danger of the assembly toppling over, which could cause injury to personnel or damage to the equipment.
2.5 Fire Safety :
WARNING
Fire may spread to neighbouring rooms. When working on a radio base station you may have to open cable ducts, channels and access holes, thereby interfering with the fire sectioning of the building.
  1. Close the cable ducts and fire doors (if applicable) as soon as possible.
  2. After completing work on cables, seal the cable ducts according to the regulations for the building.
  3. Minimize the amount of inflammable material.
  4. Avoid storing empty packaging material on the site.
  5. Use a powder or carbon dioxide type of fire extinguisher due to the electric nature of the equipment inside the Radio Base Station.
