1.6 Responsibility
Our chambers are constructed for maximum operator safety when used under standard operating
conditions and when recommended instructions are followed in the maintenance and operation of the
machine.
All personnel engaged in the use of the machine should become familiar with its operation as described
in this manual.
Proper operation of the unit promotes safety for the operator and all workers in its vicinity.
Each individual must take responsibility for observing the prescribed safety rules as outlined. All caution,
warning and danger labels must be observed and obeyed. All actual or potential danger areas must be
reported to your immediate supervisor.
1.6.1 General responsibility
No matter who you are, safety is important. Owners, operators and maintenance personnel must realize
that every day, safety is a vital part of their jobs.
If your main concern is loss of productivity, remember that production is always affected in a negative
way following an accident. The following are some of the ways that accidents can affect your production:
Loss of a skilled operator (temporarily or permanently)
Breakdown of shop morale
Costly damage to equipment and laboratory samples
Downtime
An effective safety program is responsible and economically sound.
Organize a safety committee or group, and hold regular meetings. Promote this group from the
management level. Through this group, the safety program can be continually reviewed, maintained, and
improved. Keep minutes or a record of the meetings.
Hold daily equipment inspections in addition to regular maintenance checks. You will keep your
equipment safe for production and exhibit your commitment to safety.
Please read and use this manual as a guide to equipment safety. This manual contains safety warnings
throughout, specific to each function and point of operation.
