WTR1-600 Chapter 1: Safety 12 of 42
• When you need to perform maintenance or repair work on a temperature control unit
above floor level, use a solid platform or a hydraulic elevator. If there is a permanently
installed catwalk on your temperature control unit, use it. The work platform should
have secure footing and a place for tools and parts. DO NOT climb on the temperature
control unit, machines, or work from ladders.
• If you need to repair a large component, use appropriate handling equipment. Before
you use handling equipment (portable “A” frames, electric boom trucks, fork trucks,
overhead cranes) be sure the load does not exceed the capacity of the handling
equipment or cause it to become unstable.
• Carefully test the condition of lifting cables, chains, ropes, slings, and hooks before
using them to lift a load.
• Be sure that all non-current carrying parts are correctly connected to earth ground with
an electrical conductor that complies with current codes. Install in accordance with
national and local codes.
• When you have completed the repair or maintenance procedure, check your work and
remove your tools, rigging, and handling equipment.
• Do not restore power to the temperature control unit until all persons are clear of the
area. DO NOT start and run the temperature control unit until you are sure all parts
are functioning correctly.
• BEFORE you turn the temperature control unit over to the operator for production,
verify all enclosure panels, guards and safety devices are in place and functioning
properly.
Reporting a Safety Defect
If you believe that your equipment has a defect that could cause injury, you should
immediately discontinue its use and inform the manufacturer.
The principle factors that can result in injury are failure to follow proper operating procedures
(i.e. lockout/tagout), or failure to maintain a clean and safe working environment.
