1 Health & Safety precautions
This manual contains basic information on the installation, operation and maintenance of the
Tricel Puraflo wastewater treatment system. For this reason, it is essential that these
instructions are carefully read and understood before installation or commissioning by both
the installation crew as well as those responsible for the operation and maintenance of the
system.
This manual should be readily available at the location of the system. It is the responsibility of the
homeowner to ensure that the wastewater treatment system is operated and maintained
correctly and in a safe manner at all times. As safety and security are of vital importance, the
following aspects are critical:
1.1 General
•
Ensure that all the information contained in this manual is adhered to at all times.
• Treated wastewater is not suitable for human consumption. It is unhealthy for humans,
pets, and wildlife to drink or come in contact with surface or ground water contaminated
with sewage.
•
It is important that locks are fitted to the lid to prevent accidental access.
• Never enter a tank, unless qualified to do so.
• Naked flames shall not be used in the vicinity of the tank due to the danger of combustion.
• The manhole covers shall never be left off an unattended tank. Always lock the covers
of the plant when work is completed.
•
Sewage and sewage effluent can carry micro-organisms and gases harmful to human
health.
• Any person carrying out work on the wastewater treatment system must be
appropriately trained.
•
Suitable protective clothing; including waterproof/abrasion-resistant gloves, overalls,
safety footwear, eye, ear and respiratory protection, goggles (face visors are particularly
effective against splashes) should be worn at all times. All protective clothing must be
in good condition and be fit for its intended purpose.
• Always remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment after working with
wastewater treatment plants. Wash hands and face prior to eating, drinking or smoking.
• Wastewater treatment plants contain very low levels of oxygen. Hydrogen sulphide,
methane, carbon dioxide and other life-threatening gases are also present. Tanks
have manholes covers to provide access to the tank only in times of cleaning and
inspecting the tank from outside. The manhole covers must always be in place and
secure.
•
Keep vehicles and other heavy equipment away from the wastewater treatment plant
and percolation area.
• Erect a safety barrier around open manholes to prevent anyone from accidently falling
down the manholes.
•
Keep children away from the septic system when it is being worked on.
• Do not smoke near wastewater treatment plants. Combustible gases could be present
and cause an explosion.
• Contact a plumber or other qualified person if you smell 'sewer gases'. They can identify
the source and correct it immediately.
• The sewage treatment process uses many beneficial microorganisms, like bacteria, in
the treatment process. However, the plant also contains harmful bacteria, viruses and
disease-organisms. Liquid and solid contents of the septic system are capable of causing
infectious diseases.
