E. Disconnect, lock out, and tag all power at source prior
to attempting repairs or adjustments to rotating
machinery and prior to handling any ungrounded
conductors.
DANGER
All field equipment must be tested for
electrostatic fields prior to servicing
or making contact with the machine
using the following or equivalent test
equipment:
• 90-600 VAC: Volt detector such as
Fluke Model 1AC-A
• 600-7000 VAC: Voltage detector
such as Fluke Networks Model
C9970
It is the responsibility of each
organization to provide/arrange
training for all their associates
expected to test for electrostatic
fields.
1.9
LIFTING
A. If the compressor is provided with a lifting bail, then lift
by the bail provided. If no bail is provided, then lift by
sling. Compressors to be air-lifted by helicopter must
not be supported by the lifting bail but by slings
instead. In any event, lift and/or handle only in full
compliance with OSHA standards 29 CFR 1910
subpart N and/or any applicable Federal, State, and
Local codes, standards and regulations.
B. Inspect points of attachment for cracked welds and for
cracked, bent, corroded or otherwise degraded
members and for loose bolts or nuts prior to lifting.
C. Make sure entire lifting, rigging and supporting
structure has been inspected, is in good condition and
has a rated capacity of at least the weight of the
compressor. If you are unsure of the weight, then
weigh compressor before lifting.
D. Make sure lifting hook has a functional safety latch or
equivalent, and is fully engaged and latched on the
bail or slings.
E. Use guide ropes or equivalent to prevent twisting or
swinging of the compressor once it has been lifted
clear of the ground.
F. DO NOT attempt to lift in high winds.
G. Keep all personnel out from under and away from the
compressor whenever it is suspended.
H. Lift compressor no higher than necessary.
I. Keep lift operator in constant attendance whenever
compressor is suspended.
J. Set compressor down only on a level surface capable
of safely supporting at least its weight and its loading
unit.
K. When moving the compressor by forklift truck, utilize
fork pockets if provided. Otherwise, utilize pallet if
provided. If neither fork pockets or pallet are provided,
then make sure compressor is secure and well
balanced on forks before attempting to raise or
transport it any significant distance.
L. Make sure forklift truck forks are fully engaged and
tipped back prior to lifting or transporting the
compressor.
M. Forklift no higher than necessary to clear obstacles at
floor level and transport and corner at minimum
practical speeds.
N. Make sure pallet-mounted compressors are firmly
bolted or otherwise secured to the pallet prior to
attempting to forklift or transport them. NEVER
attempt to forklift a compressor that is not secured to
its pallet, as uneven floors or sudden stops may cause
the compressor to tumble off, possibly causing
serious injury or property damage in the process.
1.10
ENTRAPMENT
A. If the compressor enclosure, if any, is large enough to
hold a man and if it is necessary to enter it to perform
service adjustments, inform other personnel before
doing so, or else secure and tag the access door in
the open position to avoid the possibility of others
closing and possibly latching the door with personnel
inside.
B. Make sure all personnel are out of compressor before
closing and latching enclosure doors.
