1.6.2 Personnel qualification and training

All personnel involved in the operation, installation,

inspection and maintenance of the unit must be

qualified to carry out the work involved. If the

personnel in question do not already possess the

necessary knowledge and skill, appropriate training

and instruction must be provided. If required the

operator may commission the

manufacturer/supplier to provide applicable

training.

Always coordinate repair activity with operations

and health and safety personnel, and follow all

plant safety requirements and applicable safety and

health laws and regulations.

1.6.3 Safety action

When a unit has experienced temperatures over

elastomers (example: Viton) will occur. In this

condition these are extremely dangerous and skin

contact must be avoided.

HANDLING COMPONENTS

Many precision parts have sharp corners and the

wearing of appropriate safety gloves and

equipment is required when handling these

components. To lift heavy pieces above 25 kg (55

lb) use a crane appropriate for the mass and in

accordance with current local regulations.

THERMAL SHOCK

Rapid changes in the temperature of the liquid

within the unit can cause thermal shock, which can

result in damage or breakage of components and

should be avoided.

HOT (and cold) PARTS

supplies can present a danger to operators and
