HP Scitex FB7600 Essential Health and Safety Instructions Rev.C - Page 15

Explosion Hazard Do not plug in or turn on power to the system if hazardous substances are detected in the environment. Should these substances be detected after the system has been turned on, do not attempt to unplug it, or turn off power. Evacuate and ventilate the area before turning off power to the system. Danger Extreme care must be taken when handling inks and solvent, to prevent the risk of explosion. Do not operate the system in the presence of explosive liquids, vapors, or gases. Keep all sources of ignition away from the printer and work area. Provision for an Eye Wash Station EYE WASH STATION When installing the HP Scitex FB7600, it is important to provide an eye wash station and shower. If the system operator accidently splashes ink or solvent into the eyes, he/she must be able to flush his/her eyes immediately with copious amounts of clean water or sterile eye-wash solution, and maintain flushing for a minimum of 15 consecutive minutes. In case ink or solvent splashes onto the skin, the operator should flush it using a shower. The provision of these facilities may help to reduce the risk of irritation and possible damage to the eyes and/or skin. Eye wash facilities may be provided by plumbing a system into a specific area (reasonably close to the print production area), or installing a commercially available eye wash station. These facilities should be located at a distance of no more than 15 m (50 ft) from the print production area, and unobstructed access should be maintained at all times. The services of a plumber will be required for installation of the types of eye wash fountains shown below (see Figure 1-4). Alternatively, commercially available eye wash products (eye wash bottles containing sterile solution or sealed flushing systems) may be used. Figure 1-4 Eye Wash Fountains 7
