2 GENERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS
2.1 Glossary
•
Operator: qualified individual, in charge of using the device/tool.
•
Machine/device/tool: the product purchased.

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.

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.

en
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.
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.
8
•
Make sure there are no oil stains, rags, paper or other inflammable material
near the muffler.
•
Avoid splashing electrolyte on skin, eyes and clothes, as it is a corrosive and
highly toxic compound.
2.2.6 Fire and Explosion Hazard
The following are potential fires and/or explosion hazards:
•
The types of fuel used by the vehicle and the vapours released by
these fuels.
•
The refrigerants used by the A/C system.
•
The acid in the vehicle batteries.
Safety Precautions:
•
Let the engine cool.
•
Do NOT smoke near the vehicle.
•
Do NOT expose the vehicle to open flames.
•
Make sure that the electrical connections are all well insulated and firmly in
place.
•
Collect any fuel that might have spilled.
•
Collect any refrigerant that might have spilled.
•
Make sure you are always working in an environment equipped with a good
ventilation and air extraction system.
•
Always activate the air extraction system when working in closed
environments.
•
Cover the openings of the batteries with a wet cloth in order to stifle the
explosive gases before proceeding in testing or recharging.
•
Avoid causing sparks when connecting cables to the battery.
2.2.7 Noise Hazard
Loud noises that may occur within the workplace, especially during
service operations may damage the operator's hearing.
Safety Precautions:
•
Protect your ears with suitable protective ear wear.
2.2.8 High Voltage Hazard
The voltage supply from the mains that powers the devices in the
workplace and the voltage within the vehicle starter system is a
potential shock hazard to the operator.
