TM 5-3895-374-24-2 FEBRUARY 1993 SAFETY INFORMATION This  Griffin  collector,  like  other  industrial  equipment,  must  be  operated  and  maintained  in  accordance  with  our instructions  and  sound  engineering  practices.    The  User  of  this  equipment  must  always  be  aware  of  the  physical  and chemical  properties  of  the  dust  particles  being  collected.    A  surprising  number  of  dusts  are  flammable,  or    prone  to explosion . Materials or processes presenting such  hazards must be identified by you, the User, so that you can request specific safety features be built into the dust collector. Even though no hazards may originally exist, the User must still be alert to changes  in the dust  or process. For example, auxiliary  processing equipment may induce high static electrical charges, or the composition of dust and air may change either of which may greatly increase the chance of explosion and fire. Griffin can provide features that will lessen these hazards.  If this unit has not been so equipped, or your process is to be changed, or you have any concerns, we suggest you contact us to see how we can assist in making your process as safe as possible. CONTROL OF HAZARDOUS ENERGY SOURCES (LOCKOUT/TAGOUT) In  accordance  with  OSHA’S  General  Industry  Standards,  29  CFR  part  1910,  employers  must  develop  standard practices and procedures to disable machinery or equipment and to prevent the release of potentially hazardous energy while maintenance and servicing activities are being performed. A dust collector itself is not a suitable site for lockout/tagout protection.  Lockout devices should be installed on the energy supply prior to the dust collector.  The usual energy supplies are electricity, compressed air and the dust laden gas stream. page 3-696
