Summary of the General Safety Precautions
•
Maintenance work may only be performed by properly trained personnel using the right
tools for the job.
•
No maintenance or servicing work may be done on the FCU unless it has been shut down
and disconnected from the power supply and the hydraulic facility.
•
When connecting the FCU to the power supply system (including when using the unit in
connection with a filter pump unit), adherence is to be maintained to local power company
safety regulations and provisions.
•
The operator/owner is to ensure adherence to the National Water Resources Act as well as
local water resource laws and other related regulations.
•
Adherence is to be maintained to statutory accident prevention regulations, safety
regulations and safety data sheets for fluids.
•
When working directly on or in the vicinity of hydraulic systems, there is to be no smoking
or open flames/fire, with every effort being taken to prevent the generation of sparks.
•
Collecting basins, suction/extraction equipment and binding agents are to be made
available.
•
Hydraulic media and water-polluting fluids must not be allowed to soak into the soil, seep
into bodies of water or the sewage system. Ensure that hydraulic media are disposed of in
an environmentally safe manner. Adherence is to be maintained to pertinent national and
local regulations pertaining to groundwater protection and the disposal of waste/spent oil
and (hazardous) waste.
•
Work on hydraulic systems may involve leaking hot oil which may cause injury and scalding
as result of its high pressure and/or temperature.
