What should the operator do if they encounter unforeseen emissions problems during cremation?

When unforeseen emissions problems arise during the cremation process, shutting the machine down is the appropriate response. This action is crucial for several reasons. Firstly, it ensures compliance with environmental regulations and permits, as ongoing emissions issues could lead to violations that harm both the facility and the surrounding community. Additionally, ceasing operation allows the operator to assess the situation more thoroughly without exacerbating the problem.

In this context, continuing with the process could lead to further emission of harmful substances, risking the health and safety of staff as well as violating legal standards. Increasing the temperature may not address the root cause of the emissions issue and might inadvertently worsen the problem. While calling for assistance is certainly a step to consider as part of the problem-solving process, immediate shutdown of the machinery ensures that no further emissions occur while support is being sought. This careful approach prioritizes safety, compliance, and effective remediation of unforeseen issues in the cremation process.
