2.4.2 Risk due to heat
The grease separator is heated before disposal. When the grease is drained for disposal, there is a risk of
burning in the case of contact with the hot grease. Personal protective equipment must be worn.
2.4.3 Risk due to overheating of the heating cover
If the grease separator was not ventilated adequately before the start of operation, an air pocket under the
heating cover may lead to overheating. Only operate the grease separator after it has been fully ventilated.
2.4.4 Danger of slipping when emptying the plant
During cleaning work and when handling the collection barrels, it is possible that greasy liquid and/or grease
may be spilt on the floor. This causes a risk of slipping. Remove any emerging liquid and/or grease immediately
and wear suitable footwear.
2.4.5 Risk of infection through contact with the wastewater
The wastewater contains bacteria. In the event of contact with the mucous membranes, eyes or open wounds
or of any ingestion into the body, there is a risk of infection. Immediately wash any parts of the body that come
into contact with wastewater, and replace any contaminated clothing. Wear personal protective equipment.
2.4.6 Risk of explosion through formation of biogas
Smoking is prohibited when working on the open separator and when replacing the collection barrels due to the
possible risk of explosion because of igniting biogas.
