the ground to lift up briefly as a result of the compressed air being blown
into it. Soil or stones could be flung away outside the rubber protection
cap. Always wear safety glasses.
Anyone inside the immediate working area of the VOGT Air Injector must
be asked to leave. The operator may also decide that a splash protection
wall needs to be erected to prevent injury and damage to property from
parts being sprayed out.
The work step may only commence when the injection lance is inside the
material to be loosened (e.g. the soil).
3�6 Residual risks
Noise
If inadequate ear protection is worn, the impact of high noise levels can
cause permanent hearing loss and other problems such as tinnitus (a
ringing, whooshing, whistling, or buzzing noise in the ear). The operator is
required to carry out a risk assessment regarding these hazards and take
measures to reduce noise and protect health. Observe the following:
„
VOGT compressed air devices must be operated and maintained as
recommended in the manual.
„
Select, maintain, and, if necessary, replace tools in line with the manu-
facturer’s recommendations.

Use ear protectors in accordance with your employer’s policies and/or
occupational health and safety regulations.
Dust / Fumes
Dust and fumes generated during use can cause damage to health (e.g.
cancer, birth defects, asthma, and/or dermatitis). The operator is required
to carry out a risk assessment regarding these hazards and must take
measures to prevent hazardous substances from being released or, if they
are, to collect them and divert them away and/or provide personal protec-
tive equipment. Observe the following:
„
The risk assessment must cover the kinds of dust generated during
use as well as the kinds of dust that may already be circulating in the
air.
„
If any dust or fumes are released, the top priority is to monitor them
where they are released.
