Safety First
Infection
Aquacell P2 Wastewater Samplers and associated Sample Collection Vessels have
been designed to minimise the risk of operator contact with the potentially hazardous
wastewater medium, however great care should always be exercised when working in
close proximity to wastewater. Particular attention should be paid to the following points:
1.
Wash hands thoroughly after handling contaminated sampler parts
2. Do not allow wastewater to come into contact with any open wounds or skin
abrasions
3. If any glass has become cracked or chipped replace immediately to avoid the risk of
cuts
Electrical
Aquacell P2 Wastewater Samplers specified with Mains connection are powered by an
AC mains supply. As all mains voltage terminals are safely housed behind protective
covers then contact with dangerous voltages is avoided. Always check the integrity of
the mains cable/connector before use
Mechanical
Care should be taken, whilst the sampler is in operation, to avoid trapping fingers in the
Pinch Valve Assembly, whilst this does not pose a serious injury risk it could cause
some discomfort
Care should be taken when lowering the Sampler module onto its base, to avoid
trapping fingers where the plastic plugs meet the aluminium socket tubes
The Sampler can be supplied with a glass Sample Chamber and glass Sampler
Collection Vessels, if this is the case care should be taken when handling as these can
be very slippery when wet
