Residual risks
The machine has been designed and manufactured with a view to eliminating all risks linked to its use.
Below is a list of residual risks.
a)
Crushing
The risk of crushing the upper limbs or the hands or the feet may exist when handling and putting the pump in place. Attention
must therefore be paid during these operations. Please remember that personal protective equipment (gloves and safety
footwear) must be worn and all procedures for correct work cycle execution must be followed.
b)
Heat-related hazard
The pump may reach high temperatures during operation depending on the temperature of the pumped fluid. The installation
design executor shall take this risk into account and specify suitable protections and warning signs for personnel.
3.3

•
safety gloves for protection against cuts and abrasions;
•

•
safety goggles (where needed).
Following the results of the risk assessment and changes in the production processes, if any, the employer may evaluate whether
additional special protective equipment may be required.
