General risk matrix
Operation
The safety regulations prevailing at the operator’s location are mandatory and
must be observed at all times. Before making an intervention, the process must
be stopped, i.e. all mechanical movement must be stopped and it must be
ensured that no automatic motion can occur.
Missing safety devices
If the fan is equipped with safety devices, they may neither be modified nor
removed. Further safety devices of suitable design must be fitted by the operator
and are subject to his control.
Disregard of safety precautions
Please implement all safety measures so that the fan, together with its associated
equipment, can operate properly and any danger to persons, materials and
products can be excluded.
Putting the fan out of operation
In the case of damage to or failure of safety devices, the fan must be stopped
and put out of operation. It may only be put into operation again when the safety
devices are fully functional again.
Overpressure
If the fan is operated in overpressure conditions with normal seals, there is a
danger of gas escaping.
For operation in overpressure conditions, special seals must be fitted.
Electricity
When any work is carried out on the fan, the electric motor must be deenergised
and secured to prevent it from switching on. The main power switch must be
secured against operation by third parties using a lockable device (e.g. padlock)
by the persons working on the fan.
Full disconnection of the motor is only
permissible in case of complete removal!
The safety regulations for work on electrical equipment prevailing at the place of
operation must be observed at all times and be available for reference at the
place of operation.
Electrostatic charge
Media flowing through the plastic components may cause the buildup of
electrostatic charge. These are harmless to persons who do not react to electrical
impulses in the body
Unsuitable materials
Through the use of inappropriate materials, the fan and/or parts may be damaged
or become non-functional. Please always use original spare parts and contact the
manufacturer in any case of doubt.
