reasonably practicable, without causing risk to the
maintenance staff and others. Suitable precautions
include, decontamination before dismantling, provision
for local filtered exhaust ventilation where the machine
is dismantled, cleaning of the maintenance area and
suitable personal protection.
• The manufacturer, or an instructed person, shall
perform a technical inspection at least annually,
consisting of, for example, inspection of the filter for
damage, air tightness of the machine and proper
function of the control mechanism.
• When carrying out service or repair operations, all
contaminated items which cannot be satisfactorily
cleaned, are to be disposed of; such items shall be
disposed of in impervious bags in accordance with
any current regulation for the disposal of such waste.
• For dust extractors it is necessary to provide for an
