Qualifications and training of personnel
Operating, maintenance, inspection and installation personnel must be qualified to carry out their
respective duties. Areas of responsibility, competence, and proper levels of supervision should
be clearly defined by the user. If personnel are not sufficiently qualified, additional training and
instruction should be carried out, to ensure that operating instructions are fully understood by the
responsible personnel
3.3
Non-compliance with safety instructions
Non-compliance with these safety instructions can jeopardize the safety of personnel, the
environment, the valve and/or the system. Non-compliance with these safety instructions will lead
to forfeiture of any rights to claims for damages.
3.4
Safety Awareness
It is essential to comply with the safety instructions contained in this manual, along with the
relevant national, state and local health and safety regulations, and the operator’s own internal
operating and safety instructions.
3.5
Safety instructions for the operator/user
Isolate the valve from all system pressure before performing any service procedures. Leakage of
any dangerous liquids (toxic or hot) at any exterior mechanical joint seal must be drained off
without any danger to persons or the environment. Before service the system plumbing should be
placed in zero energy (de-pressurized) state and operation locked-out.
All Federal, State and Local Rules regarding chemical disposal and handling must be followed.
3.6
Safety instructions for maintenance, inspection and installation work
The user must ensure that all maintenance, inspection and installation work is carried out by
authorized personnel, who are familiar with the manual. As a rule all work on the unit should only
be carried out after the valve has cooled down and pressure has been released. Proper tag out or
lockout is strongly recommended. Immediately after completion of work, all safety and protective
devices in system should be refitted and fully functional. Please observe all relevant system start-
up safety rules.
3.7
Unapproved modifications and use of non-genuine spare parts
Modifications or changes to the unit are only permitted upon approval of Barksdale. Only genuine
spare parts and original accessories will ensure the safety of the unit. The use of other than
original parts voids the warranty and will lead to forfeiture of the declaration of conformity and will
invalidate any liability for damages caused thereby.
3.8
Unapproved usage
The operating reliability and safety of the valve is only valid if used in accordance with its
specified technical limits as described in the Installation and operating instructions. Any other use
is not in conformity with the regulations, and Barksdale will not be liable for any resulting
damages.
The installation and operating manual does not invalidate terms and conditions, general
regulations and standards not referred to general technical rules should be observed.
