Danger due to Dust and Vapors
Danger of sensitization,
irritation of the mucous
membranes, and
respiratory diseases due
to dust!
Abrasion debris from the carbon brushes collects in the ProfiDAT
®
profiles and the
guide profile. This dust is very fine and is classified as harmful to health. Frequent
exposure can lead to sensitization. Persons who frequently spend longer periods
in a heavily used system without protective equipment must reckon with the follow-
ing
consequences
:
Irritations of the mucous membranes
Respiratory diseases
Cancer
These consequences must also be reckoned with if there is a lack of caution in
handling accumulated dust (by blowing out the dust with compressed air, for ex-
ample).
In workplaces with long-term exposure and heavily use systems, take
effective measures to protect employees from the dust.
Use personal protective equipment during all work performed on the data
transmission system where accumulated dust can be stirred up. Use
personal protective equipment particularly when cleaning the system.
Safety eyewear
Dust mask, class FFP3
Gloves
Disposable coverall
Clean the profiles as prescribed before starting work. There are special
instructions for this task; see chapter
During cleaning operations, protect the surrounding area, for example by
covering or removing stored materials and blocking off areas in which
dust could fall onto people.
Do not blow out dust with compressed air
. Instead, vacuum it up. The
vacuum cleaner must be equipped with a Class H fine filter.
Do not eat, do not drink, do not smoke during the work!
Poisonous gases in case
of fire!
In the case of a fire in the system, the plastic parts of the conductor rail system (PVC) will emit
toxic gases (HCl).
Leave the system immediately.
Notify the fire brigade.
