conscious behavior.
For this purpose, they must be informed by the operator about the tasks assigned to them and possible hazards
resulting from improper behavior. Corresponding effectiveness-checks by the operator are recommended.
Note: Staff must be regularly and sufficiently instructed by the operator. Further details are regulated in the
national occupational safety laws and regulations. For better traceability, the execution of the instruction must
be recorded.
WARNING: Unauthorized staff
Unauthorized staff is unaware of the hazards in their work area. Failure to comply with the
personnel requisition can result in serious injury or even death.
Unauthorized staff
Any person who:
• has not read this operating manual, has not read it completely or has not clearly understood it
• does not meet the qualification requirements for working with the Xcool

• In case of doubt, talk to persons and direct them away from the danger and work area
• Interrupt the work as long as unauthorized persons are in the danger and work area
• Deny access to unauthorized people
