Pre-Installation
Proper planning and thorough preparation are critical to successful Concentrator installation. This
chapter outlines basic requirements for the pre-installation phase of the concentrator deployment
process.
Safety Overview
Prior to starting the installation process, you must develop and launch an installer safety training
plan for initial, refresher, and ongoing safety training. Ensure that installers receive appropriate
initial and refresher training to meet their specific safety-related responsibilities. You must provide
safety training when:
• an existing installer assumes new duties for which they have not previously received training.
• new processes and methodologies representing new risks are introduced into the installation
environment.
• previously unidentified risks are reported.
The installation supervisory team assumes responsibility for ensuring that installers are properly
trained, authorized, and continually qualified to perform their work. The team must also take
responsibility for the safety of their installers and to assure safe work methodologies. Installers must
understand that their supervisor’s responsibility does not relieve them from their individual
responsibility to perform the work safely and to follow all safety rules and procedures applicable to
their work.
