2–3 Minute Talk Script
Chemical feed pump safety is essential in water and wastewater operations. These pumps handle corrosive or hazardous chemicals that can cause serious injuries.
Pumps and connections should be inspected for leaks before operation. Damaged tubing or fittings increase exposure risks.
Workers must wear appropriate chemical-resistant PPE and understand emergency response procedures. Proper labeling and storage reduce handling errors.
Pressure settings should match system requirements. Over-pressurization can cause tubing failure or chemical release.
Safety Reminders
- Inspect pumps and tubing for leaks.
- Wear chemical-resistant PPE.
- Verify pressure settings.
- Follow proper chemical handling procedures.
Ask the Crew
- Are pumps and lines free of leaks?
- Is proper PPE available and worn?
