1.1.
Laundry Facility
—Provide a supporting floor that is strong and rigid enough to support–with
a reasonable safety factor and without undue or objectionable deflection–the weight of the fully
loaded machine and the forces transmitted by it during operation. Provide sufficient clearance for
machine movement. Provide any safety guards, fences, restraints, devices, and verbal and/or
posted restrictions necessary to prevent personnel, machines, or other moving machinery from
accessing the machine or its path. Provide adequate ventilation to carry away heat and vapors.
Ensure service connections to installed machines meet local and national safety standards,
especially regarding the electrical disconnect (see the National Electric Code). Prominently post
safety information, including signs showing the source of electrical disconnect.
1.2.
Personnel
—Inform personnel about hazard avoidance and the importance of care and
common sense. Provide personnel with the safety and operating instructions that apply to them.
Verify that personnel use proper safety and operating procedures. Verify that personnel
understand and abide by the warnings on the machine and precautions in the instruction manuals.
1.3.
Safety Devices
—Ensure that no one eliminates or disables any safety device on the machine
or in the facility. Do not allow machine to be used with any missing guard, cover, panel or door.
Service any failing or malfunctioning device before operating the machine.
1.4.
Hazard Information
—Important information on hazards is provided on the machine safety
placards, in the Safety Guide, and throughout the other machine manuals. Placards must be kept
clean so that the information is not obscured. They must be replaced immediately if lost or
damaged. The Safety Guide and other machine manuals must be available at all times to
the appropriate personnel.

Maintenance
—Ensure the machine is inspected and serviced in accordance with the norms of
good practice and with the preventive maintenance schedule. Replace belts, pulleys, brake
shoes/disks, clutch plates/tires, rollers, seals, alignment guides, etc. before they are severely
worn. Immediately investigate any evidence of impending failure and make needed repairs (e.g.,
cylinder, shell, or frame cracks; drive components such as motors, gear boxes, bearings, etc.,
whining, grinding, smoking, or becoming abnormally hot; bending or cracking of cylinder, shell,
frame, etc.; leaking seals, hoses, valves, etc.) Do not permit service or maintenance by
