Personal Safety
Operators need to be aware of the following potential hazards:
A) Flying hot embers
being released from the fire. Operators or anyone within
a 100 foot radius of the fire should wear appropriate fire resistant clothing.
The ideal outwear for an operator would include a Nomex jacket, leather gloves,
eye protection, hard hat, cotton work jeans and steel toe boots. Operators
should never wear synthetic material (i.e. polyester) around the fire, as this type
of material can melt and cause injury. Additionally, some synthetic materials will
support combustion and could be very dangerous around fire. One hundred
percent cotton materials would be the minimum, cotton treated with a fire
retardant would be better and fire proof materials, like Nomex would be best.
B) Noise, ear protection is recommended around the machines.
It is a
good practice to wear approved ear protection when working in close proximity
to the fan and engine.
C) Hot Panels.
The backs of the thermo
-
ceramic panels and parts of the
orange or green structure can reach temperatures as high as 500 degrees Fahr-
enheit. Caution should be taken to insure operator and visitors do not come in
contact with these hot areas.
D) Ash and dust
can be released during the operation and during cleaning.
Operators should wear appropriate breathing masks to protect themselves from
inhaling the dust and fly ash.
DANGER:
You must insure combustible debris does not build up on the
equipment. It must be keep clean at all times during operation to prevent a
fire that would damage or destroy the engine and accessories.
