there are no flammable materials in the same areas (rags, wood, vegetation, pollens, etc.) and that operations are carried out at suitable
distance from sewer manholes;
– The user must possess at least one powders fire extinguisher suited to Flash classes ABC having minimum capacity of 2 kg;
– in the event of an outbreak of fire interesting the transfer device or an adjacent area, immediately close the fluid shut-off valve between
the IBC and the pipeline of draught, so securing the oil content of the IBC;
– It is prohibited to use the machine for pumping flammable liquids other than fuel, except in case of use of ATEX certified pumps;
– The GIR/IBC is not suitable for operation in areas where it is possible the formation of explosive atmospheres.
RISK FROM CONTACT WITH SHARP SURFACES:
– In the normal operation of the machine, the risk may be absent; to carry out maintenance work safely on metal parts it is instead neces-
sary to have suitable protective gloves against mechanical risks.
RISK OF HAZARDOUS MATERIAL SPILL
In order to prevent hazardous material spills is compulsory to:
– Use the equipment at view under the direct control of the operator;
– Periodically check the condition of the rubber tube and the presence of traces of dripping from the pump body;
– Discharge the residual pressure in the delivery line after each use, before putting the gun to rest;
– Drain adequately the gun within the destination tank inlet, before putting it away in the closet of containment at rest.
RISK FROM CONTACT WITH HIGH TEMPERATURE PARTS
– Please note that the maximum running time of the pump in by-pass conditions is 2 minutes, after that time there is risk of burns when
touching the pump body;
– Operators (transfer responsible and maintainer) should use protective gloves against heat.
RISK FROM EXPOSURE TO DANGEROUS SUBSTANCES
– It is compulsory for the operator to use protective gloves against chemicals (EN 374);
– It is recommended that the operator uses facial mask.
RISKS FROM MANUAL HANDLING OF LOADS
– There remains the risk of physical workload during handling of the GIR/IBC, this risk must be assessed and quantified by the user
depending on the specific use.
Please note anyway that the GIR/IBC should only be operated by experienced operators, we recommend proper training. Avoid wearing
insulating shoes while working with carts. Avoid insulating floors.
17. DECOMMISSIONING/DISPOSAL
The decommissioned GIR/IBC represents a hazardous waste that must be disposed of:
– By emptying the residual oil within appropriate containers.
– For the choice of the most suitable containers for waste disposal, contact the contractor in charge for disposal.
– Giving the GIR/IBC, and any other containers to eligible Company regularly registered in the register of disposal Companies, and pos-
sess the required permissions for the disposal of hazardous waste.
From the decommissioned GIR/IBC can be recovered and recycled:
– Plastic material. The entire container in 100% recyclable polyethylene (PELLD), as indicated by the symbol printed on the wall of the
container.
– Metal material. The metal parts, painted or not, are normally recoverable from companies that specialize in scrap metals.
– Electrical and electronic equipment. All electrical and electronic equipment must be disposed of by companies specialising in the
disposal of electrical and electronic waste, in compliance with the requirements of Directive 2002/96/EC, which prohibits disposal into
unsorted municipal waste, for all equipment bearing the symbol on the product or on its packaging, . The symbol depicted on the side
indicates that the product must not be disposed of together with ordinary household waste, but exclusively through the specific desig-
nated collection facilities appointed by the Administration (Government or local bodies)
– Additional parts (tubes, seals, plastic components, wiring, cables), to be disposed by companies that specialise in the disposal of
industrial waste.
