Suitable clothing should be wom by all persons involved in handling, transport and storage operations. EXAMPLE: safety helmets, safety footwear, industrial gloves and high visibility clothing.

A2 Handling A2A General Pipes, bends and tees above 150 mm nominal size should be manoeuvred with the assistance of lifing appliances Pipes, bends and tees not exceeding 150 mm may be manhendled or appliance lifted. ‘The type of mobile liting equipment to be used for a particular handling operation should be chosen to sult the ‘maximum weight of pipe likely to be encountered, the maximum outreach required for loading, off loading, or stacking ‘and the type af ground on which the mobile iting equipment will happen to operate. ‘Where components are boing handled manually, care should be exercised in the number of components lifted and carried at any one time. having regard to both safety of the operator and damage to components. A2.2 Pipe bundles Special precautions should be taken when handling pipe bundles. Pipes are likely to roll when a bundle is broken for use. Bundles should be placed in a sultable frame or post pallet before the strapping is cut The pallet restraining Uprights should be suitably padded to prevent any damage to the pipe coating Eye protection should be worn when ‘removing strapping under tension.

Bends and tees should not be handled with liting hooks and chains. Lifting should be done by passing a nylon sling ‘through the bore. The sling should be protected against being cut by the sharp edge of the bevel. A. Lifting operations Pipes should be lifted smoothly and pipe movement controled by the use of guide ropes. Where itis necessary to travel with a suspended load it should be carried as near to the ground as possible and steadied by the qulde rope. ‘Slings should not be attached to actuator parts, valves, spindles or handwhesls. In the absence of suitable guidance from the manufacturer, sings should be placed around the strongest parts of the component consistent with stability ‘Guide ropes should be used to prevent swinging and uncontrolled rotation of the load. ‘Tho handling of spt fitings does not require any diferent practice from conventional flings of comparable size, weight ‘and dimensions.

AA Storage AAA General ‘Any site selected for storage of components should have reasonable access from the public highway. ‘The site should be level and well drained. ‘Where vehicular access is required, this should be considered in planning the layout of the site. ‘Appropriate procautions chould bo taken to eaoure againet theft and vandaliom. “The disposition of components should afford ready location and ease of identification ‘AA.2 Protection of components against damage or deterioration ‘Only components which are designed to withstand adverse weather conditions should be stored in the open. ‘There is na entirely satisfactory method of protecting components stored in the open. Sheeting wil give protection, but should be applied only where components are to be stored for short periods of time and can be reguiarly inspected {for signs of deterioration, Valves should be stored 50 as to prevent water accumulating within them. Globe, wedge gate and paraitel disc valves should be stored in the closed position with the pipe axis horizontal. Ball and plug and through conduit gate ‘valves should be stored in the open position with the pipe axis either vertical otited from the horizontal ‘Where components are held in store for extended periods the folowing measures should be taken. © 8s! 04-2000 andards Institution Tue May O1 1230456 2007STD-BST BS EN 12007-3-ENGL 2000 MM 2b24bb9 O84bSOa 275 ml Page 15 EN 12007-3:2000, ~ Identification markings should be inspected regularly to ensure they are legible.
