SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: These guidelines are not intended to REPLACE A RISK ASSESSMENT.
 Ensure that standard safety precautions for working in hostile environments are followed.
 The P571 flexicoiler Inspection Systems are designed to reduce hazards from electric shock provided
that proper operating procedures are followed. It is also good practice to use a Ground Fault
Interrupter (GFI) to increase the safety factor.
 Always use heavy duty industrial gloves when handling rod or cable which is being withdrawn from a
sewer.
 Always ensure that cabling is properly connected.
 A portable generator can be a hazard if not properly operated. Always follow the manufacturer's
instructions.
 Always transport a generator with the minimum amount of fuel in the tank.
 Never connect or disconnect any part of the equipment when it is switched on.
 Always switch the system on and off using the power controls.
 Never lower tractors or other heavy equipment into manholes while personnel are working in the
manhole.
 To avoid risk of burns do not touch lightheads when they are switched on or immediately after switch
off. Leave ample time for them to cool before handling.
 Clean and sterilize equipment at regular intervals.
 Explosion Proof (EX) camera systems have been certified by approved certification authorities. Users
of such systems must ensure that they are operated and serviced according to the instructions
contained in the User and Maintenance manuals. It is the responsibility of the user to decide if the
systems are suitable for use in a particular environment.

Guidance Notes for using CCTV equipment in sewers

 All equipment should be properly maintained and should be checked before use to ensure it is
functioning safely.
 Select and cone off area to be surveyed. Use appropriate signs for directing traffic flow.
 Remove manhole covers from survey area. Where reasonably practicable at least one manhole
above and one below the length of pipe to be surveyed should be removed.
 If personnel are to enter the manhole, insert an approved gas monitor, on a line, to test the
atmosphere at the pipe level where manhole covers have been raised.
 If all the above tests are negative, leave a gas monitor in the sampling mode at the beginning and end
manholes of the area to be surveyed.
