Electrical Hazard

Precautions to be taken
Always diconnect power from the
instrument before attempting any
closing operations. Remove any
cuvette that still in instrument
and dispose them and their
contents using an approved
disposal method.
Always diconnect power from the
instrument before attemoting any
closing operations. Remove any
cuvettes that still in instrument
and dispose them and their
contents using an approved
disposal method.
Avoid measuring harsh chemicals
such as highly caustic solutions
(e.g. pH Up and silica additives),
or concentrated solutions such as
raw nutrient. Avoid placing the
electrode in oily solutions as they
can coat the electrode. Filter
water samples that are potentially
a problem (i.e. greasy) prior to
performing a pH measurement.
Clean the electrode regularly
using an electrode cleaner

NOTE:
ALL EQUIPMENTS USED ELECTRICAL POWER WILL HAVE ELECTRICAL HAZARDS.

7a. Specific risk assessment for procedure and precautions to be taken

During preparation of reagent solutions there is a LOW risk of contact with hazardous
chemicals if all precautionary measures stated in Table 5a and b (handling) are followed.
Extra care must be taken to avoid chemical spillage.
PPE must be worn at all times.
Work in a well-ventilated area (i.e. fume cupboard).
Turn on electrical equipment ONLY after all components have been connected, and the
cables checked for any damage.

After following all the above precautions the overall risk assessment for this procedure is
LOW.
