1.7 Pressure systems
Ensure that any pressure is isolated and safely vented to atmospheric pressure. Consider
double isolation (double block and bleed) and the locking or labelling of closed valves. Do
not assume that the system has depressurised even when the pressure gauge indicates zero.
1.8 Temperature
Allow time for temperature to normalise after isolation to avoid the danger of burns and
consider whether protective clothing (including safety glasses) are required.
1.9 Tools and consumables
Before starting work ensure that you have suitable tools and/or consumables available. Use
only genuine Spirax Sarco replacement parts.
1.10 Protective clothing
Consider whether you and/or others in the vicinity require any protective clothing to protect
against the hazards of, for example, chemicals, high/low temperature, radiation, noise, falling
objects, and dangers to eyes and face.
1.11 Permits to work
All work must be carried out or be supervised by a suitably competent person. Installation
and operating personnel should be trained in the correct use of the product according to
the Installation and Maintenance Instructions. Where a formal 'permit to work' system is in
force it must be complied with. Where there is no such system, it is recommended that a
responsible person should know what work is going on and, where necessary, arrange to
have an assistant whose primary responsibility is safety. Post 'warning notices' if necessary.
1.12 Handling
Manual handling of large and/or heavy products may present a risk of injury. Lifting, pushing,
pulling, carrying or supporting a load by bodily force can cause injury particularly to the
back. You are advised to assess the risks taking into account the task, the individual, the
load and the working environment and use the appropriate handling method depending on
the circumstances of the work being done.
1.13 Residual hazards
In normal use the external surface of the product may be very hot. If used at the maximum
permitted operating conditions the surface temperature of these products may reach
temperatures of 392°F (200°C).
These products are not self-draining. Take due care when working around, dismantling or
removing the product from an installation (refer to ‘Maintenance instructions’).
