2.7
Particular Hazards
This section covers particular hazards and residual risks that may arise
when using the device for special applications in accordance with
normal, intended use.
Since the use of the device for such applications is deliberate, it is the
responsibility of the operators and the provider to ensure that all per-
sonnel are protected from potential damage to health. The provider
is responsible for ensuring that the appropriate protective equipment
for such applications is provided, and that the necessary infrastruc-
ture is in place.
2.7.1
Danger due to Hot Surfaces
For applications that are performed with temperatures over 55 °C,
there is a danger of burns on hot surfaces in the interior or on the
cultivation vessels.
For applications with temperatures over 55 °C wear heat-re-
sistant protective gloves.
2.7.2
Dangerous Gases
The use or production of dangerous gases i.e. toxic or asphyxiant
gases entails a significant health risk, especially in enclosed spaces.
In order to prevent high emissions of dangerous gases, the following
measures must be taken:
The gas connections on the device must be checked before any
cultivation processes using dangerous gases are initiated.
The gaskets on the device must be checked at regular intervals
and replaced if necessary.
2.7.3
Flammable or Explosive Substances
The use or production of flammable or explosive substances is not
covered under “intended use” of the device, as the device is not ex-
plosion-proof.
If the provider intends to use the device for such purposes, he must
check its suitability for the planned application with the responsible
local authorities.
