9 Decommissioning and Disposal
This section describes decommissioning and disposal of the complete pump unit.
DANGER
LOCKOUT-TAGOUT (LOTO)
• Prior to allowing any checking, maintenance, or other work on the equipment, all
hazardous energy sources (for example, electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic,
etc.) must be isolated using an appropriate lockout-tagout procedure.
• Ensure that the intake and discharge openings are totally isolated from all potentially
pressurized connections and that they are, and can only be exposed to atmospheric
pressure.
• Drain the pump and isolate pipework before dismantling the pump. The appropriate
safety precautions must be taken when the pumped liquids are hazardous.
• Failure to follow appropriate LOTO procedures may result in serious personal injury or
death.
DANGER
LIFTING DEVICE SAFETY
• Lifting devices of adequate capacity must be used whenever they are required.
• Safe workshop practices must be applied during all assembly and maintenance work.
• Personnel must never work under suspended loads.
DANGER
LIFTING POINTS GIVING AWAY
Lifting points may be corroded and may not be fit for use. Always check for suitable
condition of lifting points and rigging prior to lifting equipment.
WARNING
PERSONNEL INJURY DUE TO HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
During disassembly, personnel may come in contact with hazardous materials. These
materials must be identified before disassembly, and the correct SDS must be made
available and appropriate safety management precautions put in place. Hazardous
pumpage must be purged and flushed from the pump prior to disassembly. Always wear
appropriate PPE.
WARNING
SHARP EDGES
• Before handling, identify work parts that could be hazardous due to sharp edges. All
metal components must be considered to have sharp edges.
• Pump components can have sharp or jagged edges. Handle parts carefully, to prevent
damage to slings or personal injury.
