5. Operator responsibility, documentation, and measures
This is NOT an exhaustive list of the required measures and documents!
Follow applicable national and international regulations.
The chamber is intended for commercial use. The operator must know, comply with, and implement the
relevant regulations on occupational safety.
The operator must develop a complete safety concept and prepare a risk assessment. As part of the risk
assessment, measures for safety and health protection must be taken by the operator. These can be struc-
tural, technical and organizational measures.
5.1 Risk assessment
First, a risk assessment shall be carried out to determine the hazards that are present where the chamber
is used due to the working conditions. When documenting the risk assessment, the operator must provide
specific evidence of the hazards.
The safety concept to be developed by the operator represents the entirety of the technical and organiza-
tional measures determined and specified on the basis of the risk assessment. When creating the safety
concept, applicable national regulations must be observed.
In particular, the risk assessment must indicate
• Determination and evaluation of the hazards
• Safety concept: determined and specified technical and organizational measures.
• Protection measures
• Cooperation with various companies
• Requirements for safety checks and technical protection measures
5.2 Employee training and protocols
The operator must ensure that all employees have read and understood the Operating Manual of the cham-
ber.
Before employees use the vacuum drying oven and related work equipment for the first time, the operator
must provide them with sufficient and suitable information on the hazards presented and measures to be
taken in a form and language that is understandable.
This includes the information resulting from the risk assessment:
• Hazards when using the chamber and related work equipment, in particular fire hazards, functioning of
protective devices
• Required protective measures and code of conduct
• Necessity of wearing personal protective equipment
• Procedure for cleaning and repair work
• Measures for operational interruptions, accidents, and first aid for emergencies
The operator must clearly define the responsibilities for installation, operation, troubleshooting, mainte-
nance, and cleaning. It must be ensured that untrained personnel have no access to the chamber and
related work equipment and systems.
