1.1 Observation/Prevention

1-2



If there are any possibilities of danger during work (especially during cleaning, maintenance, inspection, 
or troubleshooting), turn "OFF" the main motor and control power, and perform lockout/tagout. 



Before entering the package for troubleshooting, setup, cleaning, or maintenance/inspection, always 
apply lockout/tagout to the main motor and control power personally.   



Shut off the power and perform lockout/tagout before entering the package. Clearly notify the workers 
of the necessity of lockout/tagout. 



It is assumed that workers do not perform lockout/tagout of the main motor and control power 
before starting work because it is troublesome, and only turn "OFF" the main motor and control 
power. 



It is assumed that workers only turn off main motor and control power and do not lockout/tagout 
the main motor and control power, because they think it is not important.   



After checking that all the work is finished, the worker who applied lockout/tagout must release them. 

1.1.1.4  Do's about Personal Protective Devices 



Prepare and use protective devices that comply with the area’s safety standards. 





Wear work clothing, and tighten wristbands. 



Do not wear any neckties or jewelry that can get entangled in the moving or rotating parts. A helmet is



Do not have anything in your pocket to prevent objects from falling into the machine. 

1.1.1.5  Strict Do's about Handling of Hazardous and Toxic Substances 



Obtain Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) from manufacturers of hazardous and toxic substances. 



Check the MSDS and follow the handling instructions recommended by the manufacturers to handle 
and store those substances.

place. 

1.1.1.7  Strict Do's about Waste Oil, Fluid, and Materials 



Disposal of refrigerant and waste oil from the compressor are subject to a number of regulations for 
environmental protection purposes. Follow the local, state or federal acts and regulations as well as 
your company's rules, when disposing of such waste oil, fluid and materials. 

1.1.1.8  Other Strict Do's 



Keep the floor around the refrigerating, cold storage, and air conditioning packages clean and provide a 
safety aisle. 



Use only the safety aisle to move around the equipment. Keep the safety aisle free from any tools and 
cleaning fluid. 



If water or oil is spilled on the compressor or the floor, immediately wipe it off to prevent workers from 
injury caused by slipping.
