2.2

 

Safe working practices and staff training 

AAF International is fully committed to the safety of its employees and those 

of its customers. In this spirit the following guidelines are offered for the 
consideration of those responsible: 
 

All personnel shall receive safety training specific to the site, the task, and the 

conditions under which the work will be conducted. 
 

All personnel shall be equipped with appropriate safety apparel and 

equipment, such as clothing, footwear, hard-hats, gloves, ear protection, eye 
protection, and safety harness. 
 

All personnel involved in any stage of the process shall have been trained for 

the tasks in which they will be involved and at all times shall be under the direct 
supervision of experienced supervisors and managers. 
 

All personnel shall be equipped with appropriate tools and equipment to safely 

and efficiently complete their task. 
 

Adequate lighting shall be supplied at all times while work is being conducted. 

 

A work perimeter shall be set up to define the limits of the area within which 

the work will be conducted and outside which there will be no threat to the safety 
of personnel or plant. The perimeter shall be taped-off and marked appropriately to 
prevent accidental ingress of uninvolved personnel or equipment. When the work 
area impedes into existing access ways or traffic routes for which no practical 
alternative is available, barriers, wardens and flaggers shall be employed to safely 
control crossing traffic and personnel. 
 

At any time only those personnel directly involved in completing the task at 

hand shall be allowed within the work perimeter. 

 

2.3

 

Dust explosions 

Dust explosions constitute a serious industrial hazard and may result in death, 

serious injury, and/or devastating property damage. It is the responsibility of the 
user to identify the nature of the dust and whether or not it poses an explosive 
hazard and to properly mitigate this hazard. Except as otherwise expressly provided 
in writing, AAF makes no representation or warranty in connection with explosion
