1.3
Lighting
Ensure adequate lighting, particularly where detailed or intricate work is
required.
1.4
Hazardous liquids or gases in the pipeline
Consider what is in the pipeline or what may have been in the pipeline
at some previous time. Consider: flammable materials, substances
hazardous to health, extremes of temperature.
1.5
Hazardous environment around the product
Consider: explosion risk areas, lack of oxygen (e.g. tanks, pits), dan-
gerous gases, extremes of temperature, hot surfaces, fire hazard (e.g.
during welding), excessive noise, moving machinery.
1.6
The system
Consider the effect on the complete system of the work proposed. Will
any proposed action (e.g. closing isolation valves, electrical isolation)
put any other part of the system or any personnel at risk?
Dangers might include isolation of vents or protective devices or the
rendering ineffective of controls or alarms. Ensure isolation valves are
turned on and off in a gradual way to avoid system shocks.
1.7
Pressure systems
Ensure that any pressure is isolated and safely vented to atmospheric
pressure. Consider double isolation (double block and bleed) and the
locking or labeling of closed valves. Do not assume that the system has
depressurized even when the pressure gauge indicates zero.
1.8
Temperature
To avoid burns, it is essential that cooling water is flowing before open-
ing the sample inlet valve. Always close the sample inlet valve before
turning off the cooling water.
1.9
Tools and consumables
Before starting work ensure that you have suitable tools and/or con-
sumables available. Use only genuine Spirax Sarco replacement parts.
1.10
Protective clothing
Consider whether you and/or others in the vicinity require any protec-
tive clothing to protect against the hazards of, for example, chemicals,
high/low temperature, radiation, noise, falling objects, and dangers to
eyes and face.
1.11
Permits to work
All work must be carried out or be supervised by a suitably
competent person.
Installation and operating personnel should be trained in the correct
use of the product according to the Installation and Maintenance
Instructions.
Where a formal ‘permit to work’ system is in force it must be complied
with. Where there is no such system, it is recommended that a respon-
sible person should know what work is going on and, where necessary,
arrange to have an assistant whose primary responsibility is safety.
Post ‘warning notices’ if necessary.
1.12
Handling
Manual handling of large and/or heavy products may present a risk of
injury. Lifting, pushing, pulling, carrying or supporting a load by bodily
force can cause injury particularly to the back. You are advised to
assess the risks taking into account the task, the individual, the load
and the working environment and use the appropriate handling method
depending on the circumstances of the work being done.
1.13 Residual
hazards
In normal use the external surface of the product may be very hot. If
used at the maximum permitted operating conditions the surface tem-
perature of some products may reach temperatures of 662°F (350°C ).
Many products are not self-draining. Take due care when dismantling
or removing the product from an installation (refer to ‘Maintenance
instructions’).
1.14
Freezing
Provision must be made to protect products which are not self-draining
against frost damage in environments where they may be exposed to
temperatures below freezing point.
1.15
Disposal
Unless otherwise stated in the Installation and Maintenance
Instructions, this product is recyclable and no ecological hazard is
anticipated with its disposal providing due care is taken.
1.16
Returning products
Customers and stockists are reminded that under EC Health, Safety
and Environment Law, when returning products to Spirax Sarco they
must provide information on any hazards and the precautions to be
taken due to contamination residues or mechanical damage which may
present a health, safety or environmental risk. This information must be
provided in writing including Health and Safety data sheets relating to
any substances identified as hazardous or potentially hazardous.
2.1 Description
The Spirax Sarco SSC20 sanitary sample cooler has been specifically
designed for taking high quality chemical, conductivity and microbio-
logical samples quickly and safely from clean/pure steam, water for
injection (WFI) and other high purity media systems.
The unit consists of high quality 316L stainless steel components and
utilizes a counter current flow to maximize cooler efficiency, resulting in
a compact, space saving design.
All sample contact surfaces are compliant to current ASME BPE.
Surface finish of better than 0.5 µ-m Ra (20 µ-in Ra).
The unit is provided with an integral pre drilled mounting bracket to
allow simple installation at point of use.
