pressure is vented from the system and that the machine
cannot be started accidentally.

trained, competent and have read the Maintenance
Manuals.
Prior to attempting any maintenance work, ensure

all air pressure is fully discharged and isolated from the
system. If the automatic blowdown valve is used for
this purpose, then allow enough time for it to complete
the operation.

otherwise, by posting warning signs and/or fitting
appropriate anti−start devices.
all residual electrical power sources (mains and battery)

components, electrically live components, removed
panels, covers and guards, extreme temperatures,
inflow and outflow of air, intermittently moving parts,
safety valve discharge etc.).
appropriate personal protective equipment is worn.
