Employers and Employees Responsibility
The installation and maintenance of gas ducted
heating units, particularly at height, has the potential
to create Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S)
issues for those involved. Installers are advised to
ensure they are familiar with relevant State and Federal
legislation, such as Acts, Regulations, approved
Codes of Practice and Australian Standards, which
oer practical guidance on these health and safety
issues. Compliance with these regulations will require
appropriate work practices, equipment, training and
qualication of workers. Seeley International provides
the following information as a guide to contractors and
employees to assist in minimising risk..
Risk Assessment
A risk assessment of all hazardous tasks is required under
legislation. A risk assessment is an essential element that
should be conducted before the commencement of work,
to identify and eliminate the risk of falls and other risks, or
to minimise these risks by implementing control measures.
This does not need to be a complicated process - it is a
matter of assessing the job to be done and considering
what actions are necessary so the person doing the job
does not injure themselves.
This should be considered in terms of:
• What are the chances of an incident occurring?
• What could the possible consequences be?
• What can be done to reduce, or better still, eliminate
the risk?
1.1.1 Handling the Heater
GDH units are to be handled as ductwork. The unit should be transported stored and handled so that the main
enclosure is supported and not deformed, and care taken to place minimal strain upon the gas components.
1.1.2 Positioning the Heater
The unit should be installed so that it is level. GDH units may be installed vertically if custom ordered to do so. At least
1000mm clearance shall be left either side of the heater to allow sucient access to the controls and to the access
panel for maintenance purposes. Airow across the heater is required for operation and ensuring emissions fall within
the required limits therefore airow shall not be obstructed at any time. GDH units should be installed so that the
damper blades sit at least two times the width of the unit away from a blower or change in direction of ductwork on
the upstream side of the unit. Bends in the ductwork should not be placed until 920mm on the downstream side of the
dampers. Approval should be sought by Seeley for any installation encroaching on these limits. No modications shall
be made to the unit.
1.1.3 Combustibles
The heater should not be installed in contact with combustible materials. Radiant heat from the unit must also be
considered.
