possible injury
Proper installation and start-up is essential to the safe and reliable operation of
all valve products. The relevant procedures recommended by Baker Hughes, and
described in these instructions, are effective methods of performing the required
tasks.
It is important to note that these instructions contain various “safety messages”
which should be carefully read in order to minimize the risk of personal injury,
or the possibility that improper procedures will be followed which may damage
the involved Baker Hughes product, or render it unsafe. It is also important to
understand that these “safety messages” are not exhaustive. Baker Hughes can
not possibly know, evaluate, and advise any customer of all of the conceivable
ways in which tasks might be performed, or of the possible hazardous
consequences of each way. Consequently, Baker Hughes has not undertaken
any such broad evaluation and, thus, anyone who uses a procedure and/or tool,
which is not recommended by Baker Hughes, or deviates from Baker Hughes
recommendations, must be thoroughly satisfied that neither personal safety, nor
valve safety, will be jeopardized by the method and/or tools selected. Contact
Baker Hughes if there are any questions relative to tools/methods.
The installation and start-up of valves and/or valve products may involve
proximity to fluids at extremely high-pressure and/or temperature. Consequently,
every precaution should be taken to prevent injury to personnel during the
performance of any procedure. These precautions should consist of, but are not
limited to, ear drum protection, eye protection, and the use of protective clothing,
(i.e., gloves, etc.) when personnel are in, or around, a valve work area. Due to
the circumstances and conditions in which these operations may be performed
on Consolidated products, and the possible hazardous consequences of each
way, Baker Hughes can not possibly evaluate all conditions that might injure
personnel or equipment. Nevertheless, Baker Hughes does offer certain Safety
Allerts, listed in Section II, for customer information only.
It is the responsibility of the purchaser or user of Baker Hughes valves/equipment
to adequately train all personnel who will be working with the involved valves/
equipment. For more information on training schedules, please contact your local
Green Tag Center. Further, prior to working with the involved valves/equipment,
personnel who are to perform such work should become thoroughly familiar with
the contents of these instructions.
