1.3.9 Gases, Mists, Sprays and Leaks
Be aware of the hazards relating to the
pumped fluid, especially the danger from
inhalation of noxious and toxic gases, skin
and eye contact or penetration. Obtain and
understand
the hazardous substance
(COSHH) data sheets relating to the
pumped fluid and note the recommended
emergency and first aid procedures.
1.3.10 Access Hazards
Clear and easy access to all controls,
gauges and dials etc. MUST be maintained
at all times. Hazardous or flammable
materials must NOT be stored in pump
rooms unless safe areas or racking and
suitable containers have been provided.
1.2 Electric Motor Hazards and Safety
Instructions
These instructions relate generally to
electric motor installations, for specific
safety instructions for the electric motor
supplied, read the supplier's instruction
manual.
1.2.1 Electric Shock
ISOLATE the equipment before any
maintenance work is done. Switch off the
mains supply, remove fuses, apply lock-
outs where applicable and affix suitable
isolation
warning signs to prevent
inadvertent re-connection.
1.2.2 Magnetic Fields
Note the existence of magnetic fields where
shown by the MAGNETIC FIELD warning
symbol.
1.3 Diesel Engine Hazards and Safety
Instructions
These instructions relate generally to diesel
engine installations, for specific safety
instructions for the diesel engine supplied,
read the supplier's instruction manual.
1.3.1 Electrical Hazards
DISCONNECT the Batteries by removal of
the NEGATIVE terminal connector.
ISOLATE the equipment before any
maintenance work is done. Switch off the
mains supply, remove fuses, apply lock-
outs where applicable and affix suitable
isolation
warning signs to prevent
inadvertent re-connection.
Do NOT place tools on or near the Batteries
such that a short circuit may be caused.
INSPECT all cables for damage or signs of
failure and replace immediately.
1.3.2 Hot Surfaces
Do NOT touch any part of the engine, its
cooling system or exhaust system when it is
running or afterwards until it has cooled.
1.3.3 Unexpected Noise Hazard
Wear Ear Defenders when working near the
engine even if it is not running, as it may
start unexpectedly when fitted with an
automatic start control system.
1.3.4 Fluids, Gases and Fumes
Fuel fumes are highly flammable. Do NOT
refuel the engine when it is running or is still
hot from recent running.
When refuelling, avoid breathing the fuel
fumes, particularly if the pump is installed in
an
enclosed pump room. Maintain
maximum ventilation to clear the fumes
quickly.
Do NOT start the engine whilst fuel fumes
remain evident or may be present..
Exhaust gases are hazardous, the exhaust
system MUST be maintained free from
leaks and be directed to discharge in a safe
area.
Battery
gases are hazardous and
flammable. The battery area MUST be well
ventilated to clear these gases quickly.
Do NOT store lubricants or other volatile
substances near the engine. These should
be placed in a designated area having a
suitable storage enclosure.
ISOLATE the fuel supply to the engine
BEFORE working on any part of the fuel
supply and control system.
1.3.5 Stored Energy
Where Mechanical, Hydraulic, or Pneumatic
systems are fitted, refer to the supplier's
manual for instructions to ISOLATE or DE-
ENERGISE
the system BEFORE
maintenance on the engine and to DE-
ENERGISE
the equipment BEFORE
maintenance on this equipment.
