2.6  Safety Considerations 
Please consider the following safety issues before 
beginning the installation of 3M™ Opticom™ GPS 
Priority Control System vehicle equipment. 
Although we have compiled this list of common 
safety considerations, it should not be considered as 
complete.  It is not intended to take the place of your 
good judgment, training, and experience. 
2.6.1  Personal Safety Equipment and Clothing 
Personal safety equipment and clothing including high 
visibility vests, hard hats, gloves, electrical shock or 
electrocution protection clothing and equipment, safety 
shoes, safety glasses, face shields, goggles, and hearing 
protection devices are just some of the items available 
to you. 
Choose the right equipment for the job.  If you are 
unsure of which safety equipment is recommended or 
appropriate for the job, ask your supervisor or 
foreman. 
2.6.2  Electric Shock 
As a trained installer of electrical equipment you are 
aware of the dangers associated with installation of 
electrical devices.  Always be sure that the power to the 
equipment, and all associated equipment, is turned off 
and the vehicle battery is disconnected.  Use the 
equipment, techniques, and procedures that you learned 
during your training or apprenticeship or other electrical 
industry recognized safety procedures. 
If you are unsure of which techniques, procedures, 
and protective equipment are recommended or 
appropriate for the job, ask your supervisor or 
foreman. 
2.6.3  Explosion 
Common automotive-type batteries produce an 
explosive gas under some conditions.  This gas may 
easily be ignited by a spark or flame as you work on 
the vehicle.  To reduce the risk of explosion, 
disconnect the battery, work in a well ventilated 
area, avoid the use of devices that create sparks or 
use open flames, and use the appropriate personal 
safety equipment and clothing. 
If you are unsure of which techniques, procedures, 
and protective equipment are recommended or 
appropriate for the job, ask your supervisor or 
foreman. 
2.6.4  Chemical Burns 
Common automotive-type batteries contain strong acid 
that can cause personal injury if you come in contact 
with the acid.  To reduce exposure to the risk of 
chemical burns, wear appropriate protective clothing 
and handle the battery with care. 
If you are unsure of which techniques, procedures, 
and protective equipment are recommended or 
appropriate for the job, ask your supervisor or 
foreman. 
2.7  Disposal of Device 
Please dispose of the device in accordance with all 
local, state, and federal laws and regulations.
