esidual risks
Despite the warnings and safety systems, there are still some residual
risks that cannot be eliminated.
These risks are listed on the following table with some suggestions to
prevent them.

residual risks
RISK ANALYSIS AND DESCRIPTION
SUGGESTED REMEDY
Noise pollution due to installation in unsuitable environments or where
personnel work permanently.
Reassess the environment or the
spot for installation.
Unsuitable local ventilation that causes overheating of the equipment
and sufficient ventilation so as not to create discomfort to people in the
room.
Restore suitable ambient
conditions and ventilate the room.
External weather conditions, such as water seepage, low temperatures,
high humidity, etc.
Maintain ambient conditions
suitable for the system.
Overheating of surfaces at high temperatures (transformers,
accumulators, coils, etc. ) can cause burns. Pay particular attention not
to block any of the device's cooling slats or systems.
Use suitable protective equipment
or wait for the parts to cool down
before switching the equipment
on.
Inadequate cleaning: jeopardises cooling and prevents reading of the
safety labels.
Clean the device, the labels and
the work environment adequately.
Accumulation of electrostatic energy can generate hazardous discharges.
Ensure the devices have
discharged their energy before
working on them.
Inadequate training of staff.
Ask for a supplementary course.
During installation, the provisional mounting of the equipment or its
components may pose safety risks
Carefully monitor and restrict
access to the installation area.
Accidental disconnections of the quick-fit connectors with the equipment
in operation, or wrong connections, may generate electric arcs
Carefully monitor and restrict
access to the installation area.
