Safety Notice - Baker Hughes Consolidated 4900 Series Instruction Manual

III.

Safety Notice

Proper installation and start-up is essential to the safe and reliable operation
of all valve products. The relevant procedures recommended by Baker
Hughes, and described in these instructions, are effective methods of
performing the required tasks.
It is important to note that these instructions contain various "safety
messages" which should be carefully read in order to minimize the risk of
personal injury, or the possibility that improper procedures will be followed
which may damage the involved Baker Hughes product, or render it unsafe.
It is also important to understand that these "safety messages" are not
exhaustive. Baker Hughes can not possibly know, evaluate, and advise any
customer of all of the conceivable ways in which tasks might be performed,
or of the possible hazardous consequences of each way. Consequently,
Baker Hughes has not undertaken any such broad evaluation and, thus,
Wear necessary
anyone who uses a procedure and/or tool, which is not recommended by
protective equipment to
Baker Hughes, or deviates from Baker Hughes recommendations, must be
prevent possible injury
thoroughly satisfied that neither personal safety, nor valve safety, will be
jeopardized by the method and/or tools selected. Contact your local Green
Tag Center (GTC) if there are any questions relative to tools/methods.
The installation and start-up of valves and/or valve products may involve
proximity to fluids at extremely high pressure and/or temperature.
Consequently, every precaution should be taken to prevent injury to
personnel during the performance of any procedure. These precautions
should consist of, but are not limited to, ear drum protection, eye protection,
and the use of protective clothing, (i.e., gloves, etc.) when personnel are
in, or around, a valve work area. Due to the various circumstances and
conditions in which these operations may be performed on Baker Hughes
products, and the possible hazardous consequences of each way, Baker
Hughes can not possibly evaluate all conditions that might injure personnel
or equipment. Nevertheless, Baker Hughes does offer certain Safety
Precautions, listed in Section II, for customer information only.
It is the responsibility of the purchaser or user of Baker Hughes valves/
equipment to adequately train all personnel who will be working with the
involved valves/equipment. For more information on training schedules
please contact your local Green Tag Center (GTC). Further, prior to working
with the involved valves/equipment, personnel who are to perform such work
should become thoroughly familiar with the contents of these instructions.
