SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The following general safety precautions are not related to any specific procedures and
therefore do not appear elsewhere in this publication. They are, however, precautions
that personnel need to understand and apply when operating or repairing equipment.
Installation, operation, and maintenance should be performed only by qualified
personnel.
Hazard Advisory Placards/Signs
Read and heed all hazard advisory placards or signs affixed to the equipment or
surrounding enclosures. They warn of potential hazards to personal safety and possible
damage to equipment if correct maintenance practices are not followed. Ignoring hazard
advisory placards (WARNINGS/CAUTIONS) places personnel at risk for serious injury or
death.
Know and Comply with Local, State, and Federal Safety Requirements
You should be familiar with all local, state, and federal safety requirements applicable to
the equipment, processes, and materials you use during maintenance. Before using any
substances or materials marked toxic or hazardous, always refer to the Material Safety
Data Sheets (MSDS) for that substance/material for any special protective equipment,
handling, and/or disposal requirements.
Do Not Service or Adjust Alone
Do not start a maintenance or adjustment procedure if that procedure requires more
than one technician to be safely performed. It is particularly important that such work
not be performed in a remote area, away from other qualified personnel who may be
needed to render assistance. When a maintenance task requires two or more personnel
to be safely accomplished, delay the task until qualified personnel are available to assist
you.
