INTRODUCTION
Safety rules
Standard safety prescriptions
Particular attention shall be drawn on some precautions that must be followed absolutely in a standard working
area and whose non fulfillment will make any other measure useless or not sufficient to ensure safety to the
personnel in charge of maintenance.
Be informed and inform personnel as well of the laws in force regulating safety, providing information documentation
available for consultation.
• Keep working areas as clean as possible, ensuring adequate aeration.
• Ensure that working areas are provided with emergency boxes, that must be clearly visible and always provided
with adequate sanitary equipment.
• Provide for adequate fire extinguishing means, properly indicated and always having free access. Their efficiency
must be checked on a regular basis and the personnel must be trained on interventon methods and priorities.
• Organize and identify specific exit points to evacuate the areas in case of an emergency, providing for adequate
indications of the emergency indications of the emergency exit lines.
• Smoking in working areas subject to fire danger must be strictly prohibited.
• Provide warnings throughout adequate boards signaling danger, prohibitions and indications to ensure easy com-
prehension of the instructions even in case of an emergency.
Prevention of injury
• Do not wear unsuitable clothes for work, with fluttering ends, nor jewels such as and chains when working close to
engines and equipment in motion.
• Wear safety gloves and goggles when performing the following operations:
• • filling inhibitors or anti-frost
• lubrication oil topping or replacement
• utilization of compressed air or liquids under pressure (pressure allowed <
2 bar ( 29 psi )).
• Wear safety helmet when working close to hanging loads or equipment working at head height level.
• Always wear safety shoes and clothes adhering to the body, better if provided with elastics at the ends.
• Use protection cream for hands.
• Change wet clothes as soon as possible.
• In presence of electrical current exceeding
48 - 60 V verify efficiency of earth and mass electrical connections.
Ensure that hands and feet are dry and execute working operations utilizing isolating foot boards. Do not carry out
working operations if not trained for.
• Do not smoke nor light up flames close to batteries and to any fuel material.
• Put the dirty rags with oil, diesel fuel or solvents in anti-fire specially provided containers.
• Do not execute any intervention if not provided with necessary instructions.
• Do not use any tool or equipment for any different operation from the ones they've been designed and provided for.
Serious injury may occur.
• In case of test or calibration operations requiring engine running, ensure that the area is sufficiently ventilated or
utilize specific vacuum equipment to eliminate exhaust gas. Danger: poisoning or death.
During maintenance
• Never open filler cap of cooling system when the engine is hot. Operating pressure would provoke high temperature
with serious danger and risk of burn. Wait until the temperature decreases under 50 °C ( 122 °F ).
• Never top up an overheated engine with cooler and utilize only appropriate liquids.
• Always operate when the engine is tuned off; when particular circumstances require maintenance intervention on
running engine, be aware of all risks involved with such operation.
• Be equipped with adequate and safe containers for drainage operation of engine liquids and exhaust oil.
