Spill Buddy- Back View
Operator Safety
The National Electric Codes (NEC) does not certify portable electrical systems such as the Spill
Buddy. However, Clean Earth Technology has used the NEC as a guideline for the Spill
Buddy’s design, developing the operating instructions, and in our definitions of classified areas.
Please note that what we have written here is not meant to supersede anything that may be
written in detail in the NEC codes or applicable local codes.
It is your responsibility
and the
responsibility of the Authority Having Jurisdiction
to study and follow these codes.
The
Spill Buddy’s probe is designed to operate in a recovery well, which is a Class 1, Div 1
area, whereas the reel itself is not rated for use in a classified area.
Therefore, it is important to
understand and follow the instructions in this manual for using the Spill Buddy in a manner
consistent with safe practices. Make certain that you have read the Hazard Warnings section
on page iii, as well as other notes and warnings written throughout the manual and the safety
labels located on the Spill Buddy itself.
Since this is such an important topic, in the next section we will present a few basics to help you
or your customers understand the meaning of the various terms defining safe use when
operating our equipment.
