causing a slip hazard;

All personnel are to wear a fluorescent surcoat when inspecting or testing hydrants;
With the standpipe fitted to the outlet, a short length of 70mm delivery hose
should be connected to the standpipe and run out clear of the hydrant pit
towards a drain. The hydrant valve should be opened slowly and fully. If it

should be noted.
The frost valve (where fitted) should be checked to ensure that it is in satisfactory
working order. Record any deficiency on the hydrant quick reference sheet.
