1.9 Decommissioning Recycling and Disposal
Safety and environmental stewardship measures must be taken into account when
decommissioning a machine and/or component. These measures include the
following:
 Use appropriate tools and personal protective equipment such as clothing,
gloves, face shields or glasses, during the removal or handling of objects and
materials.
 Follow instructions for specialised components.
 Release stored energy by lowering suspended machine elements,
disconnecting the battery, and releasing pressure in hydraulic components,
accumulators, and other similar systems.
 Minimize exposure to components which may have residue from chemicals.
Handle and dispose of these components appropriately.
 Carefully drain engines, fuel tanks, radiators, hydraulic cylinders, reservoirs,
and lines before recycling components. Use leak-proof containers when
draining fluids. Do not use food or beverage containers.
 Do not pour waste fluids onto the ground, down a drain, or into any water
source.
 Observe all national, state, and local laws and regulations governing the
handling or disposal of waste fluids (example: oil, fuel, coolant); filters; batteries;
and, other substances or parts.
 Burning of flammable fluids or components in other than specially designed
incinerators may be prohibited by law and could result in exposure to harmful
fumes or ashes.
 Service and dispose of air conditioning systems appropriately. Government
regulations may require a certified service centre to recover and recycle air
conditioning refrigerants which could damage the atmosphere if allowed to
escape.
 Evaluate recycling options for tyres, metal, plastic, glass, rubber, and electronic
components which may be recyclable, in part or completely.
 Contact your local recycling centre for information on the appropriate way to
recycle or dispose of waste.
