2 Health and safety
2.1 Introduction
This chapter states the precautions to be observed by
personnel carrying out maintenance operations on an
Olympus Mini refuse collection body.
Precautions to be observed by personnel operating an
Olympus Mini refuse collection body are contained in
the equivalent chapter of the Olympus Mini Operator’s
Handbook.
It is everyone’s responsibility to make sure that they
and their colleagues work safely. The intention of
these guidelines is to draw to the attention of Service
Technicians the importance of safety issues and to
highlight known hazards. Read this chapter very
carefully and use the procedures as a guide to safe
working practice at all times. If necessary, discuss any
points that are not clear with your Safety Officer or
Manager.
The guidelines contained in this Manual are not
definitive and do not override nor replace local
rules and instructions. There may be additional
ways to make sure that operative and maintenance
organisations work safely and you must also follow any
local rules and safe working practices that may apply.
The information in this chapter should be used
in conjunction with the appropriate chapters of
the workshop manuals, operator’s handbooks or
other service information applicable to the vehicle
chassis‑cab and any ancillary equipment fitted to the
vehicle.
Special attention should be paid to safety procedures
and precautions which must be observed with
electronic systems, high pressure fuel systems, urea
injection systems, high temperature catalyst exhaust
systems and air conditioning refrigeration systems
fitted to modern commercial vehicle chassis‑cabs.
