Before you start work, you must:

• Be familiar with the operating instructions for the machines and equipment used at your workplace.

Before starting work:

• Visually assess the condition of the machine in terms of safe operation. 
• Check the cleanliness of the machine and the ground beneath it. If you detect any leaks, remove them. 
• All loose elements of your clothing, e.g., clothing, hair, access cards, etc., must be secured.
• Check whether the machine is powered (white LED) and whether the safety devices are working (red LEDs should be off).
• Make sure that starting the machine does not pose a risk of accident.

During operation:

• If you notice any irregularities, stop working, turn off the machine, and inform your supervisor.
• Keep your hands and feet away from moving parts. Watch your feet when lowering the lift.
• If the wire in the roll has run out, stop work and replace the roll with a new one. Remember to turn off the machine and secure the switch with a padlock. 

After finishing work:

• Turn off the machine and secure it against unauthorized use, e.g., by locking the main switch with a padlock. 
• Remember to take the key and leave it with the person designated to store it.
• Clean the workstation and the machine. 
• Make sure that the workstation and tools you leave behind do not pose a threat to the environment. 
• Do not use emergency switches and sensors to stop the machine on a daily basis.

What should you NOT do?

• Allow unauthorized persons to work. 
• Work despite machine damage. 
• Tamper with the condition and location of safety signs.
• Repair machines by unauthorized persons. 
• Crush materials that are not suitable for crushing (glass, steel, etc.).
• Replace wire spools without securing the machine switch with a padlock.
• Giving access cards to open the chute to unauthorized persons.
• Leaving the workplace while the machine is in operation. 

Breakdown or accident?

•  If something breaks down, turn off the machine and report the fault to your supervisor.
• If an accident has occurred, do not touch anything and inform your supervisor.
• Hang a sign on the damaged device: "DEVICE DAMAGED - DO NOT TURN ON."
• In the event of an accident, immediately administer first aid to the injured person and call the emergency services if necessary.
