1.3.2 Risks related to exhaust gases and fuels
The carbon monoxide present in exhaust gases may cause death if the concentration levels in the air
breathed are too high.
Always use generating sets, pump units or lighting towers in a well-ventilated place where gases cannot
accumulate.
In case of indoor use:
 Be sure to evacuate exhaust gases outdoors.
 Provide appropriate ventilation so that personnel present are not affected.
Danger

(petrol, diesel fuel and gas) before using your generating set, pump unit or lighting tower.
 Fuel filling should be carried out when the engine is off (except for generating sets with an automatic filling system).


a ventilated room, additional requirements for fire and explosion protection must be observed.

A leaking burnt gas exhaust may increase the sound level of the generating set, pump unit or lighting column. To check on its
efficiency, regularly examine the burnt gas exhaust.
