scope:
This Work Instruction applies to all sumps and pumping systems.
Purpose
Low levels of Sulphuric Acid have been identified through routine testing and analysis. Ingress of Sulphuric Acid from surface level dissolves metals, cements and other materials on its passage through the ground helping to neutralise the acid.
It is important to wear the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and follow the hygiene practices contained in this Guidance Document to prevent possible eye or skin irritation due to the low levels of Sulphuric Acid (dilution in water) found on some sites.
