1.13 Protective clothing
Consider whether you and/or others in the vicinity require any protective clothing to protect against
the hazards of, for example, chemicals, high/low temperature, radiation, noise, falling objects, and
dangers to eyes and face.
1.14 Permits to work
All work must be carried out or be supervised by a suitably competent person. Installation and
operating personnel should be trained in the correct use of the product according to the Installation
and Maintenance Instructions. Where a formal 'permit to work' system is in force it must be complied
with. Where there is no such system, it is recommended that a responsible person should kNow
what work is going on and, where necessary, arrange to have an assistant whose primary
responsibility is safety. Post 'warning notices' if necessary.
1.15 Handling
Manual handling of large and/or heavy products may present a risk of injury. Lifting, pushing,
pulling, carrying or supporting a load by bodily force can cause injury particularly to the back.
You are advised to assess the risks taking into account the task, the individual, the load and the
working environment and use the appropriate handling method depending on the circumstances
of the work being done.
1.16 Safe lifting practice
Never use the actuator to lift a valve. It is recommended to lift the complete valve assembly using
the correct equipment(s) and techniques so as not to cause damage or injury. Valves should be
supported under the inlet and outlet connections, not the actuator (including hand wheel or
accessories), and careful attention should be made to prevent the valve from rotating during the
lift sequence. When installed, neither the actuator, valve or its accessories should be used as a
hand hold or step for access to other parts of the plant.
1.17 Residual hazards
In normal use the external surface of the product may be very hot. If used at the maximum
permitted operating conditions the surface temperature of some products may exceed
temperatures of 90 °C (194 °F).
1.18 Disposal
Unless otherwise stated in the Installation and Maintenance Instructions, this product is recyclable
and no ecological hazard is anticipated with its disposal providing due care is taken.
