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 Consolidated 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 your local Green Tag Center (GTC) 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 various 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
Precautions for customer information only.
It is the responsibility of the purchaser or user of Baker Hughes's
Consolidated valves/equipment to adequately train all personnel who will
be working with the involved valves/equipment. For more information on
training schedules, call your local Green Tag Center (GTC). 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.
