The information in the Safety Section of the equipment documentation is intended to ensure
that the equipment is properly installed and handled in order to maintain it in a safe
condition.
It is assumed that everyone who will be associated with the equipment will be familiar with

When electrical equipment is in operation, dangerous voltages will be present in certain parts
of the equipment. Failure to observe warning notices, incorrect use, or improper use may
endanger personnel and equipment and also cause personal injury or physical damage.
Before working on the equipment it must first be electrically isolated.
Proper and safe operation of the equipment depends on appropriate shipping and handling,
proper storage, installation and commissioning, and on careful operation, maintenance and
servicing. For this reason only qualified personnel may work on or operate the equipment.
Qualified personnel are individuals who:
− Are familiar with the installation, commissioning, and operation of the equipment and
of the system to which it is being connected;
− Are trained in the care and use of safety apparatus in accordance with safety
engineering practices;
− Are trained in emergency procedures (first aid).
The equipment documentation gives instructions for its installation, commissioning, and
operation. However, the manuals cannot cover all conceivable circumstances or include
detailed information on all topics. In the event of questions or specific problems, do not take
any action without proper authorization. Contact the appropriate Alstom technical sales office
and request the necessary information.
