Maintenance / Repair - Build Worker BPSMIG140 Traduction Des Instructions D'origine

MAINTENANCE / REPAIR

Maintenance and repair of electrical installations
must be delegated to personnel qualified to do it. By
qualified personnel, we mean personnel who are
qualified within the meaning of national
legislation and/or practice and who, because of their
technical training, are able to appreciate the
dangers of arc welding and electricity.
European Directive 2009/104/EC (working
equipment) imposes regular inspections to
guarantee that the health and safety regulations are
respected and that any deterioration is identified
and repaired in time. In ge, the case of
welding/cutting equipment
special attention should be paid to:
1. the condition of the insulation (e.g.: electrode
holders, and welding torches and cables);
2. correct tightening and cleanliness of the electrical
connections (e.g.: plugs, connectors, extension
leads, part clamps, etc).

60974-4: In-service inspection
Repairs must only be done by specialists approved
by BUILD WORKER who will replace faulty parts
with genuine BUILD WORKER parts.
Before any internal inspection and repair make sure
that the unit is disconnected from the electrical
installation by a recognised procedure (by
"recognised procedure" we mean a set of operations
intended to separate and keep the unit
disconnected from the power supply).
SAFETY AGAINST SMOKE, VAPOURS, AND
NOXIOUS AND TOXIC GASES
European Directive 98/24/EC
(Chemical agents) lays down the ur leur minimum
requirements in the field of worker protection
against risks duits par to their health and safety
resulting, or likely to result, from effects e activite
produced by chemical agents present in the
workplace, or
consequent upon any professional activity involving
chemical agents. Emissions in the form of gas, or
smoke that is unsanitary, annoying or dangerous
workers' health, must be trapped on production, as
close as possible to the emission source and as
effectively as possible.
Welding/cutting operations should be done in
suitably ventilated steme areas. Smoke sensors
should be connected to an extraction system so that
any pollutant concentrations do not exceed the
maximum values for worker exposure to European
Directives
in the standard EN
and testing.

Special case of chlorinated solvents (used for
cleaning and degreasing): Vapour from chlorinated
solvents exposed to radiation from an electric arc,
even a long way away, can be transformed into
toxic gasses. The use of these solvents should be
prohibited in areas where electric arcs are present.
SAFETY AGAINST LIGHT RADIATION
Infrared and ultraviolet radiation from
the electrical arc cannot be avoided or sufficiently
limited during welding/cutting operations. The
exposure value limits set by Directive 2006/25/EC
are generally exceeded during the welding/cutting. It
is essential to respect the requirements for
protection of the operator and the persons in the
vicinity of the
operator described in European Directive 89/656/EC
(personal protection equipment) and its
amendments.
The operator must be protected from the effect of
radiation on his skin (burns) and eyes (stray
flashes), by appropriate personal protection. This
means he must wear:
1. Suitable clothes (e.g.: apron, jacket, trousers,
gaiters, gloves, etc);
2. A welding mask fitted with appropriate eye
protection filters and conforming with European
Standards EN 169 (Personal eye protection - Filters
for welding and connected techniques
- Requirements relative to the transmission factor
and recommended use) or EN 379 (Personal eye
protection – Automatic welding filters)
Persons in the vicinity of the operator, should be
protected from direct or reflected radiation by the
interposition of suitable curtains, screens or flexible
strip curtains and, if necessary, appropriate
clothing and a mask with a suitable filter. Suitable
warning signs should be installed to warn of the
radiation risks operation in accordance with
Directive 92/58/EC (health & safety signs at work).
BUILD WORKER offers a whole range of personal
and collective protection equipment to satisfy your
needs.
