SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Follow all safety instruction provided by the onsite builder and ensure you
have all the relevant licences to perform this work.
Ensure the correct measurements are in place to prevent the general
public from entering the site during the installation of the ABS. Excavated
holes should be fenced if the ABS is not immediately installed.
SLIPPERY WHEN WET!
During cleaning, maintenance & repair work, the surrounding area may
become extremely slippery due to spilt water. Caution is to be taken when
walking/standing near the ABS when these activities are being
conducted.
Use safe lifting techniques when installing/relocating the ABS. Ensure
that all lifting equipment is in a safe working order and the area is clear of
obstructions. Ensure all lifting equipment used has a suitable capacity and
current testing/compliance.
The waste water contained in the ABS may contain harmful bacteria.
Persons coming in contact with wastewater must immediately wash and
disinfect all exposed areas. Contact your personal physician for all health
concerns.
WARNING - to reduce the risk of electrical shock, a licenced electrician or
Taylex Accredited Service Agent (TASA) MUST carry out all works
requiring access to the blower box prior to final commissioning.
