Safety during lifting and handling operations
Before these operations are started, the work area must be organised in such way that material lifting
and movement are performed safely.
Unloading, loading, handling and lifting operations must be performed by qualified and authorised
personnel who have received specific vocational training.
During lifting and handling operations anyone who is not involved in them must keep at a safe distance.
All lifting equipment used, including attachments (hooks, wire ropes and chains), and all transport
vehicles must be of suitable capacity and must be tested periodically, as specified by the existing
regulations.
3.5.1
Description of packing, unpacking and transport procedures
The Hawk pumps, series KR-KR ES ATEX, are contained in a package that was specifically designed to prevent damage resulting from
shocks or vibration during transport or handling.
Each pump is packaged individually, wrapped in something similar to a protective mould which follows the profile of the pump. Any
other element is packed in a separate package.
Depending on the quantity of goods to be shipped, packages may be placed on a pallet for easier lifting and handling.
When removing the packaging, check that the components are in good condition and in the right quantity. If they are damaged or
missing, contact the dealer or the Manufacturer directly in order to agree upon the measures to be taken.
Packaging material must be disposed of in compliance with the existing laws.
Depending on their destination, Hawk pumps may be shipped by road, railway, ocean or air freight.
During transport the package must be secured to the vehicle in a suitable manner to prevent uncontrolled movements.
Failure to comply with the instructions above may result in situations with a high level of hazard.
