3 SAFETY
3.1 General safety precautions
Safety precautions Note

Do not skip steps. There may be a potentially dangerous
situation which you have not considered.
Check the condition of all tools before Take special care of the electric cables,
taking into use. plugs and sockets and ensure that hoisting
equipment is in safe serviceable condition.
Follow the requirements of your local
regulations.
Always wear gloves, eye and ear protection
when drilling.
Nobody is allowed to work under
suspended loads.
Nobody is allowed to work below when
work is being done overhead.
In common well installations always keep
the cars at the same working level.
Use correct lifting methods. Use hoist for all
heavy components.
Hoists - General notes about electrical and mechanical chain hoists and the man riding
hoist
– Ensure that the hoist and all its associated equipment are in good condition and
marked with their safe working loads
– The hoist must have a current valid test certificate (regulations vary in different
countries)
– Before each use check that the equipment is free of defects
– Do not leave suspended loads unattended unless suitable precautions have been
taken
Do not work on scaffolds before they are
stabilized.

construction work is in progress on the well
During work, fence the working area by a enclosure, except in special cases like
sealing off line. staged installations where additional
safety precautions must be taken.
Crash decks must be installed.
Refer to your local procedures for the type
of entrance protection required.
If it is necessary to remove the entrance
protection, always re-install it immediately
after finishing the work in that area.
Keep the walkways and the work areas
clear of unnecessary materials and tools.
Always keep the control panel door closed and machine room door locked when
authorised persons are not working in the machine room.
Personal safety equipment must be
available and used as required.

Test the operation of the brake device daily
before starting the installation work from the

Ensure that kickboards are properly in
place.
Fit upstands around all rope holes. Cover all unused holes with steel plates.
When transporting material into the elevator shaft use additional safety fences or guarding,
if there is a danger that outsiders can enter the working zone in front of the access landing
level.
When working in the pit always use the correct ladder or pit access door.
Besides the recommended safety practices
described in this book, your local safety
codes and rules must always be followed!
ENSURE THAT THE POWER TO THE
MAIN SUPPLY CABLE CANNOT BE
TURNED ON!
THE MAIN SUPPLY MUST BE SWITCHED
OFF AND LOCKED OFF UNTIL ALL
ELECTRICAL WORK IS COMPLETED
Ensure that all main switches are identified
with a number or letter. This identification
must be used consistently for all parts of the
elevator (machine, controller, overspeed
governor, switches and so on).

3.2 Prevent falls from height
Requirements
Prevent falls from height:
1. Identify all possible fall hazards.
2. Remove the fall hazards, if possible.
3. If it is not possible to remove a fall hazard, then reduce the risk of fall using fall
prevention methods.
4. If it is not possible to protect against a fall hazard using fall prevention methods, then
use fall arrest equipment but only when verified through specific risk assessment. The
provision of suitable rescue equipment, instruction and training must be available to ensure
the timely rescue in case of a fall.
Refer to AM-01.03.001.
If you need to use fall arrest equipment:

– Safety harnesses must be used in accordance to your national codes.
– Always attach the harness to an approved fixing point.
– It is recommended to attach the harness to a fixing point situated at least 2 m above the
working height.
– If it is not possible to attach harness at least 2 m, keep the lanyard as short as possible to
minimize free fall (be aware of the effect of rope and harness stretch).
– When estimating the likely fall area, consider the possible risks stemming from dangerous
striking points such as guide rail brackets.
– When the safety harness is not secured to a lifeline or other approved fixing points ensure
that the lanyard does not cause a catching or tripping hazard. Do not share lifelines and
load hooks.

3.3.2 Double security safety practice when using hoists for man riding purposes
Refer to AM-01.03.003-AP1 Take 2 special applications - double security safety practice,

when using hoists for man riding purposes.
To ensure your and your co-workers personal safety, you must always be protected from
falling by two independent devices.
It is not permitted to drive or to be on top of the suspended installation time platform without
double security:
1. Slack rope operated brake device

The man riding hoist must be correctly attached using the correct fittings for the hoist type
used. Refer to the hoist handbook and AM instruction manual. Slack rope operated brake
device is operating and brake device is functional.
2. Fall arrester device
The fall arrester device is installed, roped, tested and operating.
3.3.3 Work positioning equipment or restraint system
NOTE! For more information, refer to AM-01.03.001.
Work positioning or restraint systems are systems of personal protection designed to secure
the user in a safe position where it is not possible to fall. The restraint may also be used as an
additional measure to prevent fall when working close to or leaning over the basic entrance
protection, for example, when installing components at the top of an elevator shaft. The area
around the fall hazard must be segregated to prevent risks to others.
Work positioning system

CAUTION! Work positioning or restraint
systems must not be used to arrest a fall.
Typical equipment includes:

– Body belt.
NOTE! A full body harness is sometimes

used, but it is less suitable for low level

KONE methods do not support the use of work positioning or restraint systems as primary fall
prevention systems. This system is suitable as additional protection to the primary protection
or where there is a limited risk of injury. They are only to be used where no other better
solution is possible, subject to site specific risk assessment (for example, existing elevator
with no car top balustrade).
3.4 Personal safety
3.4.1 Personal protection
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) are devices, appliances and clothing designed and
used to protect against safety, health or other workplace hazards.
If the risks associated with your work cannot be controlled by other means, your employer
must provide you with PPE.
PPE are provided for your personal protection. YOU MUST USE THEM AS REQUIRED.
