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 Remove Fuses
As an extra safety measure,
remove fuses from the power supply to the compressor
(and keep safely in your pocket).

Compressed Air Safety
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.

Compressed Air Safety
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
7/29/2019 Safety Module [CompAir] (1)
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/safety-module-compair-1 27/66
Compressed Air Safety
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.
4 Safe Working Practices….
7/29/2019 Safety Module [CompAir] (1)
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/safety-module-compair-1 28/66
Compressed Air Safety
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.
4 Safe Working Practices….

Compressed Air Safety
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.
