Safety Information – [cont’d]
Operational Safety Program
The safe and efficient use of the Allied equipment
depends upon proper installation, operation,
maintenance and repair. Operational safety programs
must encompass all of these elements.
Accident prevention through operational safety
programs are most effective when the equipment
owner further develops the program by taking into
account his own experience in using and maintaining
equipment.
Developing such programs will help minimize
equipment downtime, while maximizing service life
and performance. Most importantly, it will minimize
the risk of personal injuries.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Personnel operating or nearby the equipment and
exposed to the hazard of falling, flying and splashing
objects, or exposed to harmful dusts, fumes, mists,
vapors, or gases shall use the particular personal
protection equipment (PPE) necessary to protect
them from the hazard. Such PPE may include safety
eyewear, face shield, hearing protection, safety
footwear, gloves, and dust mask. Supervisors shall
review proper PPE selection and ensure PPE is
made available to personnel. Personnel are
responsible for wearing PPE as directed by the
supervisor.
Protective Equipment - Guarding
Allied equipment designed with guards shall have
guards in place when equipment is in use. Guards
are fitted to the equipment to protect against unsafe
situations that could not be eliminated through design
measures. Where it was not possible to prevent an
unsafe situation by means of a guard, safety
messages appear on the equipment, warning
personnel of a hazardous condition.
Guards shall not be removed unless for the purpose
of inspection and service of components. All guards
must be reinstalled after service or adjustments are
completed. Do not operate the Allied equipment
without guards installed.
Additional guarding, not included with the Allied
equipment, is necessary at the operator’s station to
protect the operator and other nearby personnel
against flying debris from material being cut or
demolished. Do not handle, demolish or cut material
overhead without proper guards installed.
To prevent accidental start up, the control switch
shall be located in a protected area that is guarded
and makes it difficult to accidently operate the
equipment.
Unapproved Modifications
In order to provide and maintain efficient production
and reliable service, while ensuring operator safety,
the Allied equipment may not be modified or used for
any other purpose other than, for which it was
intended. Use of the Allied equipment, other than
those specified in this manual, may place personnel
at risk of injury and/or may subject the equipment to
damage. The Allied equipment shall not be modified
or used in unapproved applications unless written
consent is received from the Allied Engineering
Department.
