sensitive electronic components.
To ensure safe working on the instrument, the operating company must ensure
■ that suitable first-aid equipment is available and aid is provided whenever required.
■ that the operating personnel are regularly instructed in all topics regarding work
safety, first aid and environmental protection and know the operating instructions
