2 GENERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS
2.1 Glossary
•
Operator: qualified individual, in charge of using the device / tool.
•
Machine / device / tool: the product purchased.
•
Workplace: the place where the operator must carry out her/his work.
2.2 Operator Safety Regulations
2.2.1 General Safety Regulations
•
The operator must be completely clear-headed and sober when using the device;
taking drugs or alcohol before or when operating the device is strictly forbidden.
•
The operator must not smoke during device operation.
•
The operator must carefully read all the information and instructions in the
technical documents provided with the device.
•
The operator must follow all the instructions provided in the technical documents.
•
The operator must always watch over the device during the various operating
phases.
•
The operator must make sure she/he is working in environment which is suitable
for the operations that must be carried out.
•
The operator must report any faults or potentially hazardous situation in
connection with the workplace or the device.
•
The operator must carefully follow the safety regulations required for the
workplace in which she/he is working and required by the operations she/he has
been asked to carry out.
2.2.2 Risk of Asphyxiation
Exhaust gas from internal combustion engines, whether they may be
petrol or diesel, are hazardous to your health and can cause serious
harm to your body.
Safety Precautions:
•
The workplace must be equipped with an adeguate ventilation and air extraction
system and must be in compliance with standards according to current national
laws.
•
Always activate the air extraction system when working in closed environments.
2.2.3 Risk of Impact and Crushing
The vehicles which are undergoing A/C system recharging operations
and the devices must be properly blocked using the specific
mechanical brakes/blocks while being service.
8
Safety Precautions:
•
Always make sure that the vehicle is in neutral gear (or that it is set in parking
position in case of a vehicle equipped with automatic transmission).
•
Always activate the hand brake or parking brake on the vehicle.
•
Always block the wheels on the vehicle with the specific mechanical blocks.
•
Make sure the device is stable, on a flat surface and the wheels are locked with
the specific brakes.
2.2.4 Hazards Caused by Moving Parts
Vehicle engines include parts that move, both while running and not
running (eg: the cooling fan is controlled by a thermal switch in
connection with the coolant temperature and become activated even
when the vehicle is off), that can injure the operator.
Safety Precautions:
•
Keep hands away from moving parts.
•
Disconnect the engine cooling fan each time the engine you are working on is
still hot. This will avoid the fan from becoming activated unexpectedly even when
the engine is off.
•
Do not wear ties, loose clothes, wrist jewellery or watches when working on a
vehicle.
•
Keep connection cables, probes and similar devices away from the moving parts
of the engine.
2.2.5 Risk of Burning or Scalding
The parts that are exposed to high temperatures in engines that are
moving or have just stopped could burn the operator.
Remember that catalytic mufflers reach very high temperatures, able
to cause serious burns or even start fires.
Acid in the vehicle batteries is another potential hazard.
Safety Precautions:
•
Protect your face, hands, and feet by using suitable protection.
•
Avoid contact with hot surfaces, such as spark plugs, exhaust pipes, radiators
and connections within the cooling system.
•
Make sure there are no oil stains, rags, paper or other inflammable material near
the muffler.
•
Avoid splashing electrolyte onto your skin, eyes and clothes, as it is a corrosive
and highly toxic compound.
