SAFETY
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This Manual is for use with a Seeley International manufactured AIRA AL Evaporative Cooler OR Models. This manual
is updated without notification and it is the installer and customers responsibility to ensure the latest version is used.
This Manual is intended to assist in the Installation, Commissioning and Service of Seeley International manufactured
AIRA AL units and DOES NOT take precedence over any Australian Standards or legislation.
This book should be retained with the unit or made easily accessible to installation and maintenance personnel.
AIRA AL units are evaporative cooler appliances, capable of supplying cooled air and direct air ventilation. AL units are
produced in 4 different capacities to suit a wide variety of installation requirements.

Employers and Employees Responsibility
The installation and maintenance of evaporative
cooling units, particularly at height, has the potential
to create Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S)
issues for those involved. Installers are advised to
ensure they are familiar with relevant State and Federal
legislation, such as Acts, Regulations, approved
Codes of Practice and Australian Standards, which
offer practical guidance on these health and safety
issues. Compliance with these regulations will require
appropriate work practices, equipment, training and
qualification of workers. Seeley International provides
the following information as a guide to contractors and
employees to assist in minimising risk.
1.1.1 Handling the Unit
AL coolers are provided with lifting external points.
The cooler must remain in the upright position at all times.
1.1.2 Positioning the Cooler
The unit should be installed so that it is level. Allow 1200mm clearance around the unit. Air intake to the unit should not
be restricted in any manner. Approval should be sought by Seeley for any installation encroaching on these limits. No
modifications shall be made to the unit. If the unit is being installed on a sloped roof, a roof stand shall be installed and
adequately secured before the AL unit is installed.
1.1.3 Wiring Electrical
Connections must be in accordance with all relevant Australian Standards and applicable State regulations and local
legislation.
1.1.4 Drainage
Drainage for the cooler section shall be done in accordance with relevant Australian Standards (AS3500) and statutory
requirements and local legislation.
Risk Assessment
A risk assessment of all hazardous tasks is required under
legislation. A risk assessment is an essential element that
should be conducted before the commencement of work,
to identify and eliminate the risk of falls and other risks, or
to minimise these risks by implementing control measures.
This does not need to be a complicated process - it is a
matter of assessing the job to be done and considering
what actions are necessary so the person doing the job
does not injure themselves.
This should be considered in terms of:
•
What are the chances of an incident occurring?
•
What could the possible consequences be?
•
What can be done to reduce, or better still, eliminate
the risk?
