ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY/DECOMMISSIONING
NOTICE
Decommissioning is a controlled process used to safely
retire a piece of equipment that is no longer serviceable.
If the equipment poses an unacceptable and unrepairable
safety risk due to wear or damage or is no longer cost
effective to maintain (beyond life-cycle reliability) and is to
be decommissioned (demolition and dismantlement), be
sure to follow the rules below.
„ NEVER pour waste or oil directly onto the ground, down
a drain, or into any water source.
„ Contact your country's Department of
Public Works or a recycling agency in your
area and arrange for proper disposal of
any electrical components, waste, or oil
associated with this equipment.
„ When the life cycle of this equipment is over, remove
the battery and bring it to an appropriate facility for lead
reclamation. Use safety precautions when handling
batteries that contain sulfuric acid.
„ When the life cycle of this equipment is over, it is
recommended that the trowel frame and all other metal
parts be sent to a recycling center.
Metal recycling involves the collection of metal from
discarded products and its transformation into raw
materials to use in manufacturing new products.
Recyclers and manufacturers alike promote the process
of recycling metal. Using a metal recycling center
promotes energy cost savings.
