1.4  Hazardous liquids or gases in the pipeline

Consider what is in the pipeline or what may have been in the pipeline at some 

previous time. Consider: flammable materials, substances hazardous to health, 

extremes  of  temperature.

1.5  Hazardous environment around the product

Consider:  explosion  risk  areas,  lack  of  oxygen  (e.g.  tanks,  pits),  dangerous  gases, 

extremes  of  temperature,  hot  surfaces,  fire  hazard  (e.g.  during  welding),  excessive 

noise, moving machinery.

1.6  The system

Consider the effect on the complete system of the work proposed. Will any proposed 

action  (e.g.  closing  isolation  valves,  electrical  isolation)  put  any  other  part  of  the 

system or any personnel at risk? 

Dangers  might  include  isolation  of  vents  or  protective  devices  or  the  rendering              

ineffective of controls or alarms. Ensure isolation valves are turned on and off in 

a gradual way to avoid system shocks.

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 danger of burns.

Valves  which  are  fitted  with  PTFE  seats  must  not  be  subjected  to  temperatures 

above  260°C  (500°F).  Above  these  temperatures  toxic  fumes  may  be  given  off. 

Avoid inhalation of fumes or skin contact.

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.
