instructions
Attention:
If there is a special application the user information is Operation instruction =
probably too little => product-related documents are
necessary (description &/ drawings) User information = assembly &
application instruction

PSA Definition and Framework Conditions
PSA (Personal Safety Appliances) means all equipment
and/or any medium destined to be worn by a workman as a
protection against hazards to health and safety.
Worldwide Distribution
Product meets national statutory requirements (E.U., U.S.A., Asia and Australia)
Instructions for use in the language of the countries of export
Testing – regular checks necessary

Useful service life: 5 to 8 years
Verification
Doka CI:
Design in Doka colours - Doka logo
Protection standard and -quality appropriate to Doka
PSA Categories
Directive 89/686/EEC Personal Safety Appliances
-The greater the risk, the more stringent the certification process –
• Category I – low risk

• Category II – injury risk (design type test obligatory)
• Category III – Death risk (design type testing and quality control assurance obligatory
pursuant to the ISO 9000 certification)
PSA fall arresters protection = Category III:

‘Protection against death risk or grievous irreversible health damage, where the designer
assumes, that the wearer is unable to recognise the immediate hazard in due time.’
On-Rope Protection
Roped-Up Securing -The use of roped-up securing facilities is required when
the application of other technical protection measures
such as fall arrester securing facilities or arrester belt
harness is not possible.
-Personal fall arrester safety appliances are to be
checked as required, but at least once each year by an
expert, dependent on the employment and operational
conditions.
-The wearer is also to check in addition before each use
of the appliance as to whether the on-rope protection is
ensured.
-The responsible site foreman is to instruct the wearer
and fix the anchoring points.
-When technical measures are not possible
annual check
Check before each employment of the appliance
The responsible site foreman should:
- define the anchoring points
- issue instructions before each employment

Erecting the formwork –
Loads must be transferred safely
Pouring – MAX. permitted rate of pouring!
Striking the formwork –
Only after sufficient strength of concrete
Only after person in charge give order
Never use crane to strike
Use suitable tools – bards, wedges,
system features
Transporting, stacking and storing –
Follow local standards for transportation
Secure and fix any loose parts

Quality and Confirmations Certificates
Confirmation for our customers:
On which standard/rule was the product/system designed and dimensioned.
What is a GS-sign?
• The GS-sign means „certified safety“ and is assigned of the construction government safety organisation in D (accident insurance, H&S
inspections)
• The operation inspection is similar with the type test
• The static calculations will be certified from the test engineer and are a precondition for the issue of a GS-sign
• For the GS-sign an operating instruction is required (User information); attachment only necessary by law in D; other countries: own
interest)
• Advantage: The customer receives a system, which is certified incl. the instruction.
GSV – formwork (quality protection association - formwork)
GSV is an association (formwork producer since 1993)
Aim and goal:
• Agreement of quality and capacity characteristics for frame formwork, which has indicated the bearing
capacity (concrete pressure) in dependence of the allowed bending acc. ÖN/DIN 18202
• It is ensured that the formwork stand the indicated concrete pressure and meet the required minimum
standard of used material.
Doka products and services lead the field in quality, functionality and safety
Market:
Importance of safety & occupational health is increasing, due to Health & Safety
Coordinators; Labour Inspectorate; HSE Plan
Side protection: increasingly, certified boards are being required
EN 13374 compliant identification marking on the product (manufacturer, class,
year & month of manufacture)
What is a CE-sign?
If there is any danger for life or health of the user because of the construction method or
effectiveness, products must be signed with the CE-sign.
• Base is the EG-guideline „Machine“ 89/392/EWG. This guidline provides with the country-
specific standards. A „machine“ is the entirety of connected parts, at least one of them
must be flexible, as well as control, control loop and energy loop etc., which are connected
for a certain application.
• In Austria it is the „Maschinen - Sicherheitsverordnung „(MSV). § 112 deals e.g. with

separate lifting accessories - § 124 bearing pressure equipment.
• Machine guideline for machines – the whole, which is flexible – and separate lifting
accessories
• CE – sign
• Assigned by producer
• The producer confirmes by conformity certificate that the product fulfil all
applicable regulations. Therefore a statics and risk analysis must be carried out.
We are part of the CE-sign.
Content:
Reference to the operation start, the application, service notes, wastage, disposal etc.
Expressed in the operation instruction is an agreement certificate of the producer. This is necessary
because of the CE-sign.
