Safety Practices and Hazards
General
Unless otherwise specified, statements in this manual apply to both the Agilent
5800 and 5900 ICP-OES instruments.
Operation of an Agilent ICP-OES involves the use of compressed gases, high
voltage radio frequency energy and hazardous materials including corrosive fluids
and flammable liquids. Careless, improper or unskilled use of this spectrometer or
chemicals used with it can cause death or serious injury to personnel, and/or
severe damage to equipment and property. Only trained personnel should use this
instrument.
The spectrometer incorporates interlocks and covers that are designed to prevent
inadvertent contact with any potential hazards. If the instrument is used in any
manner not specified by Agilent, this protection provided by the equipment may be
impaired. It is good practice to develop safe working habits that do not depend
upon the correct operation of the interlocks for safe operation. It is essential that
no interlock or cover is bypassed, damaged or removed.
The safety practices described below are provided to help the user operate the
instrument safely. Read each safety topic thoroughly before attempting to operate
the instrument and always operate the spectrometer in accordance with these
safety practices.
