Section
A
Every year accidents in the work place maim, kill and injure people. Although it may
be impossible to prevent all accidents, with the right combination of training, operating
practices, safety devices, and operator vigilance, the number of accidents can be
significantly reduced. The purpose of this section is to educate equipment users
about hazards, unsafe practices, and recommended hazard avoidance techniques.
If any of the required regularly scheduled maintenance is located above the reach of
the operator, they should follow the companies normal safe practices of reaching that
particular height, utilizing the companies specified equipment and following normal
safety precautions.
When working with treatment chemicals, operators should always wear protective
gloves, safety glasses, and follow the companies safety precautions in the case of
any spillage or operator contamination.
SAFETY WORDS AND SYMBOLS
It is very important that operators and maintenance personnel understand the words
and symbols that are used to communicate safety information. Safety words, their
meaning and format, have been standardized for U.S. manufacturers and published
by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). The European Community (E.C.)
has adopted a different format based on the International Standards Organization
(I.S.O.) and applicable machinery directives. Both formats are presented below.
Graphic symbols are not standardized, but most manufacturers will use some variation
of the ones seen in this manual.
