2 The supervisor, or the responsible person, shall at all times make sure that all instructions regarding
machinery and equipment operation and maintenance are strictly followed and that the machines with
all accessories and safety devices, as well as the consuming devices, are in good repair, free of
abnormal wear or abuse, and are not tampered with.
3 Whenever there is an indication or any suspicion that an internal part of a machine is overheated, the
machine shall be stopped but no inspection covers shall be opened before sufficient cooling time has
elapsed; this to avoid the risk of spontaneous ignition of oil vapour when air is admitted.
4 Normal ratings (pressures, temperatures, speeds, etc.) shall be durably marked.
5 Operate the unit only for the intended purpose and within its rated limits (pressure, temperature,
speeds, etc.).
6 The machinery and equipment shall be kept clean, i.e. as free as possible from oil, dust or other
deposits.
7 To prevent an increase in working temperature, inspect and clean heat transfer surfaces (cooler fins,
intercoolers, water jackets, etc.) regularly. See the
4.5 Preventive maintenance schedule for the
compressor .
8 All regulating and safety devices shall be maintained with due care to ensure that they function
properly. They may not be put out of action.
9 Care shall be taken to avoid damage to safety valves and other pressure-relief devices, especially to
avoid plugging by paint, oil coke or dirt accumulation, which could interfere with the functioning of the
device.
10 Pressure and temperature gauges shall be checked regularly with regard to their accuracy. They shall
be replaced whenever outside acceptable tolerances.
11 Safety devices shall be tested as described in the maintenance schedule of the instruction manual to
determine that they are in good operating condition. See the 4.5 Preventive maintenance schedule
for the compressor .
12 Mind the markings and information labels on the unit.
13 In the event the safety labels are damaged or destroyed, they must be replaced to ensure operator
safety.
14 Keep the work area neet. Lack of order will increase the risk of accidents.
15 When working on the unit, wear safety clothing. Depending on the kind of activities these are: safety
glasses, ear protection, safety helmet (including visor), safety gloves, protective clothing, safety
shoes. Do not wear the hair long and loose (protect long hair with a hairnet), or wear loose clothing or
jewelry.
16 Take precautions against fire. Handle fuel, oil and anti-freeze with care because they are inflammable
substances. Do not smoke or approach with naked flame when handling such substances. Keep a
fire-extinguisher in the vicinity.
