We recommend that a risk assessment is undertaken to identify an appropriate location for your waste
collection and recycling units. In order to reduce risk, some organisations decide to place the units a
minimum of 5 metres away from buildings. Any potential risk can be further reduced by maintaining a
regime of regularly emptying the unit. You may also wish to consider installing a Glasdon FiresafeTM.
Glasdon Firesafe is an eective low cost auxiliary device designed to quickly extinguish re at source but is
not intended to replace primary re prevention measures. A regular inspection and maintenance
programme will ensure the device is kept in good working order. In the event that the device has been
discharged it must be replaced.

drill, x through the extrusion
pre-drilled holes into each of the
blanking blocks.
With the door open, hold the
chute (K) against the back of the
aperture so that it is resting
against the extrusion. The chute
should be positioned central to
the aperture so that there is an
equal gap at the ends.

be xed in place last once all
assembly , adjustment and ground
xing is complete to ensure it aligns
correctly with the hood.
Close the door. Should the gap
between the door and the
extrusion be too small (as above)
and the lock cover is catching,
further tighten extrusion bolts (Fig
26). This will increase the gap.
