Chapter 1: Safety
Safety has been a prime consideration when designing the AutoPump System. Safety guidelines are provided in this
manual, and the AutoPump System safety features are listed below. Please do not attempt to circumvent the safety
features of this system.
We have also listed some possible hazards involved when applying this system to site remediation. Nothing will protect
you as much as understanding the system, the site at which it is being used, and the careful handling of all equipment
and fluids. If you have any questions, please contact the QED Service Department for guidance.
As you read through this manual, you will encounter three kinds of warnings. The following examples indicate how they
appear and lists their respective purposes.
Warning:
A Partial List of Safety Procedures
WARNING
:The air compressor and any other electrical equipment used with this pneumatic system must be
positioned outside of any area considered hazardous because of possible combustible materials.
These safety procedures should be followed at all times when operating QED equipment on or off site, and should
be considered as warnings:
Wear safety goggles when working with the AutoPump System to protect eyes from any splashing or pressure
release.
Wear chemically resistant rubber gloves, boots, and coveralls when handling the AutoPump and fluid discharge
hose to avoid skin contact with the fluid being removed
Point tubing/hoses away from personnel and equipment when connecting or disconnecting.
Always ensure that the fluid discharge line is connected before the air line to prevent accidental discharge.
The AutoPump System minimizes the potential for accidents with the following safeguards:
Almost all of QED underground fluid extraction systems are pneumatic. This offers many inherent fire and explosion
protection features.
