4.6 ADDITIONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Depending on the type of flow media used, you have to fit additional protec-
tive equipment.
Hazardous flow media:
•
Fit a tray with a sufficient volume beneath the K°Bloc for collecting its
entire content. This tray must be made of a material that resists the flow
media permanently.
•
When using explosive and flammable media, provide earthing.
When using cold flow media (below 0 °C):
•
fit an insulation in order to prevent freezing up of the K°Bloc,
•
provide a protection against accidental contact in order to avoid frost-
bites of persons,
•
set up warning signs alerting persons of the low temperatures.
When using hot flow media (above 50 °C):
•
provide a protection against accidental contact to keep persons from
suffering burns;
•
set up warning signs alerting persons of the high temperatures.
4.7 RESIDUAL HAZARDS ON THE K°BLOC
Wearing personal protection equipment and safety-conscious and fore-
sighted behaviour by personnel avoids dangerous situations.
