THE RISK ASSESSMENT IS AS PER THE GENERIC PPM METHOD STATEMENT. SITE SPECIFIC RISK ASSESSMENT TO BE COMPLETED IF REQUIRED.

REFER TO THE SITE SPECIFIC RISK ASSESSMENT BEFORE STARTING WORK AND ENSURE ALL REQUIRED SAFETY EQUIPMENT IS PRESENT.

THE UNIT MUST BE ISOLATED FROM THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY BEFORE ANY INTRUSIVE WORK IS CARRIED OUT.

ON ENTERING THE SITE:

  • Is the Risk Assessment and Method Statement relevant to the task being carried out below?

  • Is the site clear from any visible signs of asbestos that could be disturbed by the task below?

  • Is the site safely accessible with no sub standard conditions on the access route?

  • IF 'NO' REPORT TO YOUR LINE MANAGER IMMEDIATELY FOR REVIEW AND CEASE ALL WORKS.

GENERAL:

  • Note any abnormal water seepage into the pump room; where contaminated waste water has been deposited on the floor, disinfect the area.

  • Check that danger and warning notices are present, intact, legible and appropriate to the site.

  • Check that any previously reported defects have been rectified.

  • Check operation of, and clean all luminaries and lamps. Check condition, as appropriate, of lamp holders, flexible cords, connectors, control gear and starting devices.

  • At sewage stations, check availability of washing facilities and test operation of water heater.

  • Check that the control panel is clean and the doors are secure.

  • Test operation of auto-telephone and if the remote alarming is fitted. notify the relevant person(s).

  • Isolate and make safe the electrical systems to be inspected and displaying warning notices if exposed to external work parties and/or station staff.

  • Before entering any sump or chamber, test for air toxicity, flammable gases and oxygen deficiency (for a minimum of 5 minutes).

Electrical:

  • Visually examine all equipment for signs of corrosion, damage, overheating, movement and exposed live electrical parts. Including cables for damage, particularly cables on submersible pumps.

  • Ensure that all access covers to electrical equipment / cable trunking are fitted and secure.

  • Check setting of starter overload trips against records and adjust if necessary.

  • Test tripping action of RCD's and circuit breakers by operating them manually and resetting if satisfactory. Check condition and security of all fuse links.

  • Check condition of motor starter contactor assemblies and renew them if necessary. Test each contactor by operating it manually.

  • Check security of all cable terminations and connectors. Tighten terminals if necessary.

  • Function test the operation of every motor starter under manual or automatic control including all.

  • Function test all isolating switches.

  • Confirm the automatic sequencing of pumps to ensure that the duty selection changes after each operation.

  • Confirm performance of remote alarm panel, if fitted, by verifying with recipient that signals are received correctly.

  • Test all indicator lamps by pressing the 'Lamp Test' buttons. Replace any defective lamps.

  • Where the site permits, test the operation of the automatic level control and alarm equipment for each tank or sump, either by simulation or letting water levels rise, and verify the controls work.

  • Where the site permits, clean all level electrodes, float equipment and pressure sensors.

  • Test and record all required readings for pumps, as shown overleaf.

  • Backup PLC code if PLC present and attach it to website.

MECHANICAL:

  • Visually examine all equipment, including all accessible pipework for signs of corrosion, damage and leaks.

  • Check all machinery guards, anchor bolts and fixings are in place and secure.

  • Inspect unit for any undue noise or vibration.

  • Inspect outside casings and clean as required.

  • Check pump glands and/or mechanical seals and adjust them as necessary.

  • Inspect condition of flexible couplings on pipework.

  • Inspect condition of drive coupling on pump.

  • Inspect condition of anti-vibration mounts and acoustic pads.

  • Assess the condition, suitability and security of sump covers, handrails, access ladders and safety barriers in pump room and sump.

  • Assess the condition, accessibility and cleanliness of sumps and tanks and remove, clean and replace all strainers and footvalves.

  • Test operation of pump sets to reduce water level.

  • Inspect drain and tundish for free flow of water.

  • Test operation of valves, returning to their original position.

  • Check presence, inspection status and date of lifting gear and note details overleaf.
