Training
- The major mechanism for the control of diesel emissions is the proper operation of the engines. Therefore, the training of
maintenance personnel in their care and adjustment is a critical issue. All personnel involved in engine maintenance should
thoroughly understand the maintenance procedures recommended by the engine manufacturer and should follow all preventative
maintenance schedules.
- Equipment operators should be trained in the efficient use and care of the equipment.
- Train personnel who handle fuel and lubricating oils to prevent contamination from dust, water, or other sources.
- Train operators in routine inspection and maintenance.
- Train operators to avoid operating the engine at low RPM in high load situations ("lugging").
- Do not idle engines excessively.
- Personnel working with diesel fuel in areas where diesel exhaust may be present should be advised of the potential hazards of exposure.
