Personal Safety
Operators need to be aware of the following potential hazards:
A) Flying hot embers
being released from the fire. Operators or anyone within
the 100 foot radius of the fire should wear appropriate fire resistant clothing. The
ideal outwear for an operator would include a
“
Nomex
”
jacket, leather gloves,
eye protection, hard hat, cotton work jeans and steel
-
toe boots. Operators
should never wear synthetic material (i.e. polyester) around the fire, as this type
of material can melt and cause injury. Additionally, some synthetic materials will
support combustion and could be very dangerous around fire. One hundred per-
cent cotton materials would be the minimum, cotton treated with a fire
retardant would be better and fire proof materials like
“
Nomex
”
would be best.
B) Noise ear protection is recommended around the machines.
It is a
good practice to wear approved ear protection when working in close proximity
to the fan and engine.
C) Hot Panels.
The backs of the thermo
-
ceramic panels and parts of the
steel structure can reach temperatures as high as 500 degrees Fahrenheit .
Caution should be taken to insure operator and visitors do not come in contact
with these hot areas.
D) Ash and dust
can be released during the operation and during cleaning.
Operators should wear appropriate breathing masks to protect themselves from
inhaling the dust and ash.
DANGER:
You must insure debris does not build up on the equipment
front deck. It must be keep clean at all times during operation to prevent a
fire that would damage or destroy the motor and accessories.
