Portable Generators And Their Use By Dogs Vic

[SwaY]

Portable Generators and their use by DOGS Victoria

members

The use of portable electrical generators by DOGS

Victoria members has become prevalent in recent times

and there is a need to set out minimum standards for

their use.

Members must follow the requirements below which will

allow reasonable use and avoidance of disturbance to

others.

* Generators must not be used indoors or in partially

enclosed areas, to avoid risk of CO gas inhalation

which can prove lethal.

* A fire extinguisher or fire blanket is required to be

available for use by the user.

* Connection to the appliance(s) must be by a heavy

duty outdoor-rated electrical extension cord at least

equal to the sum of the connected appliance loads

with a minimum rating of 15 amps.

* Generators must be a minimum of three metres from

the appliance(s) and cable length must not exceed

five metres. Cable must be tagged and rated.

* A cable trap must be used to avoid any hazard to the

general public walking in the vicinity.

* Generators may not be used in wet weather or on wet

ground. When re-fuelling the generator it must have

first been allowed to cool. Hot engine parts are

hazardous to spilled fuel. No stored fuel may be left in

the immediate area of the generator.

* Users must be aware of the potential for disturbance

by noise and/or fumes to others around the vicinity

and where nuisance is created, the generator may

be required to be shifted or shut down. The VCA

representative is empowered to issue such

requirement.

* In all cases the onus is on the user to avoid any

disturbance to others and to use the generator in a

safe and sensible manner. At a Glance

Some parts seem like overkill... but generators really annoy me at shows (along with the dryers they usually power). Some stupid ppl leave them to damage/burn the grass.
