SECTION 1 – HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL
INTRODUCTION
This chapter covers safety information pertaining to the spin processor system. The
spin processor uses high voltage electrical power, mechanical motion, and varying
temperatures in the processing of semiconductors. Safety precautions MUST be
followed when servicing or maintaining the spin processor system.
Service and maintenance personnel should be trained in:
•
Electrical safety
•
Hazardous Chemical Handling
•
Mechanical Motion
NOTE:
Only LTC factory-trained personnel should service the spin processor system.
Some maintenance tasks may require more than one person to perform. The presence
of potentially hazardous chemicals may require two or more workers to safely complete
the tasks. Whenever possible turn off and lockout gases, chemical delivery valves, and
electrical power before service or maintenance is performed.
Possible hazards associated with the spin processor system are:
•
Electrical shock
•
Inhalation, exposure, and skin contact with solvent chemicals
•
Fire
•
Mechanical hazards
Safety procedures associated with the spin processor are noted within this section and
throughout this volume. The OEM components for your system also contain specific
safety instructions, which are provided in their respective documentation.
Each spin processor is configured to use specific chemical materials in its standard
process, as well as facility gases and fluids for certain maintenance tasks. These
chemical materials may be hazardous, flammable and/or toxic and require careful
handling. Safe handling procedures for these chemical materials are discussed in this
manual.
Laurell Technologies Corporation is not liable for damages resulting from improper
installation or misuse of their spin processor system. Every operator and service
person must read and thoroughly understand the operation and maintenance manuals,
as well as any additional information, provided by Laurell with respect to this product.
