Health risks
The backwater pumping station pumps wastewater with sewage which can contain hazardous substances.
Make sure eyes, mouth or skin do not come into direct contact with the wastewater or parts of the system soiled
by it. In the case of direct contact, the part of the body affected must be washed thoroughly immediately and
disinfected if necessary. Wear personal protective equipment.
2.4.5
Risk caused by noise
Operation of the backwater pumping station can cause a high noise level. Wear appropriate protective
equipment if necessary and take sound-insulating measures.
2.4.6
Risk caused by heat
Risk of burning by touching hot surfaces. When in operation for longer periods, wastewater pumps can develop
a high operating temperature on the housing surface. Wear protective equipment (gloves) or allow the pumps to
cool down accordingly.
2.4.7
Risk caused by unexpected pump start-up
The pump can start up at any time if the backwater pumping station is not disconnected from the power supply.
Always have specialist staff remove the pumps and only after the system has been cleared and secured against
being switched on again unintentionally.
