6.1 General safety information

Possible risks must be taken into account
when using the stair landing.
There is a risk of falling from the stair landing
or that the stair landing slips off; there is
also the risk of falling from a hinged step
or a stepladder that are located on the stair
landing or that the hinged step or the step
ladder falls over; in such situations, persons
can be injured and objects damaged.
There is also a risk of injury by pinching
and shearing points when handling the
stair landing.
All jobs with and on the stair landing should
therefore be carried out in such a way that
these risks are kept as low as possible.
The stair landing should only be used for light jobs of short
duration. Do not work on the stair landing for long periods
without regular breaks (fatigue jeopardises safe use).
The stair landing must be suited for the particular use and
may only be used in the prescribed set-up position. The stair
landing or parts of the stair landing must not be modified.
Always pay attention to a firm grip:
• When entering the stair landing,
• When climbing up and down on the stepladder or
hinged step
• For all work on the stair landing.
Do not move stair landing while using.
National valid regulations must by all means be complied
with – especially with professional use.

6.2 Before using the stair landing
Read use and operating instructions
completely.
Visually inspect for damage and safe use at
the start of each working day on which the
stair landing will be used.
The stair landing is only intended for use
with a HAILO hinged step or a HAILO
stepladder with a maximum of 4 steps.
Do not use any single ladders on the
stair landing.
Does your health permit you to use the stair landing safely?
Certain medical conditions and medication, as well as alcohol
and drug misuse, can jeopardise your safety when using
the stair landing.
When transporting on roof racks or loaded into a car,
ensure that the stair landing is adequately secured to
prevent damage.
Inspect the stair landing after delivery and before using
it for the first time to check the condition and functioning
of all parts.
Ensure that the stair landing is suitable for the
respective activity.
Do not use a damaged stair landing.
Remove all forms of contamination from the ladder,
e.g. wet paint, dirt, oil or snow.
Before using the stair landing or the hinged step or stepladder
on the stair ladding, a risk assessment should be carried out in
accordance with the Industrial Safety Regulation.
