DETERMINATION OF POTENTIAL ABOVE SURFACE HAZARDS IN
PROPOSED JOBSITE LOCATION(S)
Normal AIR-SCRUB-R use is on a level surface. Avoid other surface conditions
which can be dangerous. Special care must be exercised on slippery, and/or
difficult/uneven surfaces. Watch for surface irregularities or drop offs to lower
floor levels. Identify any objects that could puncture ducting. Check for large,
heavy debris that could be pulled into the AIR-SCRUB-R. Remove any trip/fall
hazard BEFORE operating AIR-SCRUB-R. Check for such hazards as water,
flammable/combustible/toxic liquids, gases, vapors, dusts fibers or filings.
OPERATIONAL HAZARDS
1.
The air filtering process can produce sparks, dusts and other foreign
particle contamination that can result in fire and/or explosion depending
on existing jobsite conditions.
2.
Dust, dirt and debris can contain asbestos and other chemicals that are
known to cause physical harm and/or affect the environment.
3.
Excessive water, and/or other conductive materials on work surface can
result in electrocution of operator and/or other personnel.
4.
When used in negative air ducting applications, to prevent airborne
particulates from escaping space, exhausting too much air from a space
with open combustion devices (e.g. furnace, fireplace or water heater)
can cause those devices to backdraft and contaminate space with
potentially fatal gases.
IMPORTANT:
Only professionals with appropriate training should set up
negative pressure containment areas.
Preventive Measures:
•
Operator must maintain physical and mental alertness. Be prepared for
unexpected dirt and/or debris coming in contact or entering
AIR-SCRUB-R. DO NOT allow inlet to become blocked or place object in
inlet and/or outlet opening. Operator must be capable of sensing level of
AIR-SCRUB-R control operator has.
•
DO NOT operate AIR-SCRUB-R in areas where flammable or
combustible liquids, gases, vapors, dust, fibers or filings may be present.
DO NOT discharge flammable liquids or chemicals through
AIR-SCRUB-R.
•
DO NOT place AIR-SCRUB-R in standing water or operate when raining.
DO NOT allow water inside AIR-SCRUB-R or motor. If motor/
AIR-SCRUB-R becomes wet for any reason, dry thoroughly BEFORE
operating. Remove water and/or conductive materials by industry-
approved and/or accepted practice BEFORE operating AIR-SCRUB-R.
Determine AIR-SCRUB-R is properly grounded and power cords are free
of cuts, abrasions and/or exposed cable strands.
•
For negative air ducting applications, AIR-SCRUB-R must be used in one
of three ways:
a)
As filtering unit only. Exhaust no air from space preventing
negative pressure or back drafting.
b)
Exhaust very limited amount of air preventing backdraft. Open
combustion devices must be thoroughly checked to guarantee
devices do not backdraft while AIR-SCRUB-R is operating.
c)
Route outlet duct from AIR-SCRUB-R to room with open
combustion devices to create positive pressure with filtered
air. Open combustion devices must be thoroughly checked to
guarantee devices do not backdraft while AIR-SCRUB-R is
operating.

WARNING
BEFORE attempting to ventilate an area, identify/mark all potential
subsurface hazards in proposed ventilation locations(s). Potential
subsurface hazards may include, but may not be limited to the
following:
1.
Buried debris, rotted timbers or wood planking.
2.
Buried pressurized pipelines (e.g. natural gas, propane,
etc.)
3.
Buried electrical cables.
4.
Water, flammable/combustible/toxic liquids, gases,
vapors, dusts, fibers, or filings.
