Featuring….. MR T. (Guess Who !! )





The Following Presentation is a Guide to Your Safety !!

You are obliged by law to understand and adhere to national andlocal safety legislation and regulations.




CAUTION:

Work on a compressor unit must only be carried out by

authorized service personnel who are fully trained andcompetent in:

Safety First !!!

1. The Compressor

2. The Compressed Air System

3. The Electrical System




Hot Surfaces

Compressors can operate at temperatures

in excess of 200°C !!!

Beware of HOT Surfaces

Beware of HOT Oil

Beware of HOT Cooling Water




1. Pneumatic Safety

2. Electrical Safety

3. Safety Attire

4. Safe Working Practice

5. Site Safety Rules

6. General Safety

7. Read and Understand All Warning Labels

8. Chemical Safety

Let’s look at each individually….





1. Isolate Compressor From System

2. Depressurize Compressor and Pipe Work

3. Check Compressor Pressure Gauge

1 Pneumatic Safety




1 Pneumatic Safety

1. Isolate Compressor From System

It is advisable to use an Isolation Notice so people areaware that work is being carried out.




1 Pneumatic Safety

2. Depressurize Compressor and Pipe Work




1 Pneumatic Safety

3. Check that compressor pressure gaugereads zero




Beware !!!

Air Exhausting to Atmosphere can be Dangerous….

Direct Discharge Air Away from the Unit & Operator

Clear Area of any Flying Hazards Before Discharge

Use Hearing Protection During Any Depressurization

Follow All Site / Local Regulations

1 Pneumatic Safety




2 Electrical Safety




2 Electrical Safety

1. Isolate From Main Supply

2. Remove Fuses

3. Lock Out

4. Test For Incoming Power

Only when absolutely necessary should any testing be

performed with the power on. Use extreme care !

Never work on a powered or running unit alone!




2 Electrical Safety

Isolate from Main Supply

Isolate the compressor unit fromthe main power supply.




2 Electrical Safety Remove Fuses

As an extra safety measure,

remove fuses from the power supply to the compressor

(and keep safely in your pocket).




2 Electrical Safety Lock Out….

Isolate the compressor’s power

supply at the main board.

Cover and lock the isolation box

to prevent someone inadvertently

switching supply back on whilst

work is in progress or the unit is

unsafe to use.

It is advisable to use an Isolation Notice so people areaware that work is being carried out.




2 Electrical Safety

Test for Incoming Power….

Double check that the main supply

terminals to the machine are not livebefore proceeding with any work.

You may be 100% sure that supply has

been isolated, but mistakes can occur

from time to time. Get into the habit of double checking that the machine is

safe to work on as high voltages can

kill. It’s not worth the risk !!!

4 Safe Working Practices….

1. Use Correct Tools

2. Calibrated Equipment

3. Lifting Equipment




Always use correct tools for the job

Using incorrect tools can damagecomponents and make further

maintenance difficult and costly.

e.g.

Always use correctly sized spanners,

never use grips or adjustable spanners.





Always use equipment that has beencorrectly tested and calibrated.

Using un-calibrated equipment may

give false readings which could give

rise to inaccurate fault diagnoses.





Where required always use suitablelifting equipment

Make sure that:-Items being lifted are well secured

The lifting equipment and tackle is in

good order and capable of lifting the

item.

Nobody, including yourself, stands too

close or beneath items that are lifted.





5 Site Safety Rules

Observe All Posted Signs and Notices




6 General Safety….

If testing is required with unit running:-

Ensure all guards are in place. Be aware of any items that may come in contact with moving parts.

Don’t wear long hanging cloths, neck ties

Do not play with compressed air

Do not point air hoses at anyone Do not use compressed air to blow dirt from clothing




6 General Safety….

Check Security and Condition of Air Hoses

Check Security and Condition of Electrical Cables

Protect yourself from Noise and Vibration from Air Tools

Remove ‘SLIP HAZARDS’: Clean Up………

Oil Spills / Oil Leaks / Water Leaks / Condensate

Tie back long hair

Beware of Loose Clothing e.g.… Tie !!

Walk Don’t Run !! Beware of Trip Hazards

Beware of Low Level Bump Hazards

Beware of Heavy Lifting




7 Read and Understand All Warning Labels

The following slides give brief descriptions of some of the most

commonly used safety signs on CompAir compressors.





Attention:

Only lubricate the system while the

motor is running. For further details, see

the operating instructions





Warning:

Don’t attempt any servicing /

maintenance without reading the manual

first.





Attention:

Replace oil filter cartridge after approximately

100 operating hours. For further details, see

the operating instructions.





Caution:

Hot Surfaces, Do Not Touch





Caution:Hot and dangerous exhaust fumes





Warning:

Check and, if required, re-tighten connection

terminals. For further details, see the

operating instructions.





Earthing Point





Warning

Pressurized part or system





Warning:

Risk of electric shock





Warning:The system continues to run for 30 seconds

after pressing the ‘O’-Key





Warning:This system can start up by means of a remote

control or automatically after a power failure.





Caution:

Pressure Vessel





Warning:

General Warning





Warning:

Rotating Machinery

Caution:Vessel is pressurized





Caution:

Do not start machine until……

Usually accompanied with another graphic





Wait at least half an hour before proceeding





Condensate drain from after-cooler or

from after-cooler with subsequent

filtering.





Sound levels:- (needs checking )

There are two action levels for continuousnoise:-

Ear protection should be provided if requested

when noise levels are between 80-85 dB(A)

Ear protection must be provided and their use

enforced for anyone exposed to noise levels

above 85dB(A)





Safety relief valve setting





Tie down point





Lifting point





Fork Lift points





Protect the generator from moisture.Do not clean with a Water / Vapor jet

C S





Bleed water from the pressure vessel after every

24 operating hours or if the water ratio is too high.
