Safety First
The location and orientation of the cooling tower can affect the safety of those
responsible for installing, operating or maintaining the tower. However, since
SPX Cooling does not determine the location or orientation of the tower, we
cannot be responsible for addressing those safety issues that are affected
by the tower’s location or orientation.
The following safety issues should be considered by those respon-
sible for designing the tower installation.
• Access to and from the collection basin
• Access to and from mechanical access door(s)
• The possible need for ladders (either portable or permanent) to
gain access to the mechanical access door(s)
• The possible need for external mechanical access platforms
• Access issues due to obstructions surrounding the tower
• Lockout of mechanical equipment
• The possible need for safety cages around ladders
• The need to avoid exposing maintenance personnel to the poten-
tially unsafe environment inside the tower.
