and dust.
The presence of dangerous or combustible materials inside premises housing combustion devices shall be limited to the
operating requirements.
Facilities must be operated under the constant supervision of a qualified person, who must regularly check that the safety
devices are operating correctly and ensure that the combustion devices have the correct fuel supply.
Apart from the combustion devices, it is prohibited to use fire in any form. This restriction must be clearly displayed.

1.3.2 Risks related to exhaust gases and fuels

The carbon monoxide present in exhaust gases may cause death if the concentration levels in the air
breathed are too high.
Always use generating sets, pump units or lighting towers in a well-ventilated place where gases cannot
accumulate.
In case of indoor use:
Be sure to evacuate exhaust gases outdoors.
Danger
Provide appropriate ventilation so that personnel present are not affected.
Observe the local regulations in force for generating sets, pump units or lighting towers, as well as local regulations for use of
fuel (petrol, diesel fuel and gas) before using your generating set, pump unit or lighting tower.
Fuel filling should be carried out when the engine is off (except for generating sets with an automatic filling system).
Engine exhaust gases are toxic: do not run the generating set, pump unit or lighting column in unventilated premises. If installed
in a ventilated room, additional requirements for fire and explosion protection must be observed.
A leaking burnt gas exhaust may increase the sound level of the generating set, pump unit or lighting column. To check on its
efficiency, regularly examine the burnt gas exhaust.
Pipes must be replaced as soon as their condition demands it.
