QUIPMENT EMOVAL AND
Follow these procedures to safely remove equipment from service for repair or disposal and to
ensure safety is maintained when new equipment is put into service.
If equipment has been exposed to hazardous substances, chemicals, or biological
agents, ensure it is properly decontaminated before removal. This helps prevent
contamination of personnel, transport vehicles, and the environment. Follow these
steps:
1. Identify the type of contaminants and select appropriate decontamination
procedures based on material safety data sheets (MSDS) or other safety
guidelines.
2. Use suitable decontamination agents and PPE as required.
3. Document all decontamination procedures performed, including agents used
and personnel involved.
If decontamination involves liquids or creates waste materials, ensure that all
residues are collected and contained properly. Dispose of waste according to local
regulations for hazardous or contaminated materials. After decontamination, inspect
and verify that the equipment is free of contaminants before proceeding with removal,
repair, or transport. Consider having a qualified person sign off on the
decontamination if required by safety protocols.
Before removing equipment from use for repair or disposal, ensure that all power sources are
n
disconnected and all stored energy sources have been discharged to prevent accidental injury
to personnel. Refer to the "Power Instrument On and Off" guidelines for more information.
Only qualified personnel should perform repairs or dispose of the equipment. This ensures that
n
the work is done safely and that the equipment is properly disposed of in accordance with local
regulations.
When removing equipment for repair, clearly label it with the reason for removal and the date it
n
was taken out of service. This helps ensure that the equipment is not put back into service until
it has been properly repaired and tested.
Depending on the type of equipment being handled, it may be necessary to address
n
environmental safety, such as preventing spills or leaks of hazardous substances during
removal or transport.
