Some Points To Consider; Other Important Requirements - Seeley Climate Wizard CW-80 Installation & Operation Manual

SOME POINTS TO CONSIDER

• What is the best and safest access to the
roof and working areas?
• If a worker is alone, who knows they are
there and if they get into difficulty, how can
they summon help?
• (Call someone on the ground? Mobile
phone? etc.)
• What condition is the roof in? Should the
trusses, underside or surface be checked?
• Does the worker have appropriate foot
wear? (Flat sole jogger type is advisable)
• Are all power cables / extension leads safe
and appropriately rated?
• Are all ladders, tools and equipment suitable
in good condition?
• Where ladders are to be used, is there a
firm, stable base for them to stand on?
Can they be tied or secured in some way
at the top? Is the top of the ladder clear of
electricity supply cables?
• Is there a roof anchor to attach a harness
and lanyard to? If so, instruction should be
issued for the use of an approved harness
or only suitably trained people used.
• Are all tools and materials being used,
prevented from slipping and falling onto a
person at ground level? Is the area below
the work area suitably protected to prevent
persons walking in this area?
• Does the work schedule take into account
weather conditions, allowing for work to be
suspended in high winds, thunder storms/
lightning or other types of weather giving
wet, slippery surfaces?
• Is there an on-going safety check system of
harnesses, ropes, ladders and access/lifting
equipment and where they exist on roofs,
anchor points before the commencement of
work?
• Is there a system which prevents employees
from working on roofs if they are unwell or
under the influence of drugs or alcohol?
• Are there any special conditions to consider
i.e. excessive roof pitch, limited ground
area, fragile roof, electrical power lines?

OTHER IMPORTANT REQUIREMENTS

• Never force parts to fit because all parts are
designed to fit together easily without undue
force.
• Never drill holes in the tank of the cooler.
• Check the proposed cooler location, to
ensure that it is structurally capable of
supporting the weight of the cooler, or
provide an adequate alternate load bearing
structure.
• Ensure the installation complies with all
local and national regulations with regards
to electrical, plumbing and bushfire
construction requirements.
