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 is most effective when the equipment
owner further develops the program by taking into
account his own experience with using and
maintaining equipment.
Developing such programs help minimize equipment
downtime, while maximizing service life and
performance. Most importantly, it will minimize the
risk of personal injuries.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Personal protection equipment (PPE) shall be made
available to any personnel operating or nearby the
equipment that may be exposed to hazards such as
falling, flying and splashing objects, or harmful dusts,
fumes, mists, vapors, or gases. Approved PPE, when
used correctly, helps protect against certain harmful
effects from exposure with the identified hazard.
Examples of PPE include safety eyewear, safety hat,
hearing protection, dust mask, safety footwear, and
gloves. (Shown Pictograms of PPE is not all-
inclusive).
Those responsible for administering PPE shall train
personnel with the proper selection and use of PPE
to protect against misuse.
Safety Guards and Protective Barriers
A safety guard is a physical barrier designed to
prevent access to danger areas. Guards are fitted to
the Allied equipment to protect against unsafe
situations that could not be eliminated through design
measures. Guards are only effective when properly
installed and in place. Guards shall not be removed
unless for the purpose of inspection and service of
components. Reinstall all guards after service or
adjustments are completed.
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
recognized hazard.
Do not operate the work tool without proper 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
processed by the work tool.
Prevent accidental activation of the Allied work tool
by locating the control switch in a guarded area.
Compatibility and Use With Other Equipment
Allied work tools are designed to deliver satisfactory
performance with a broad range of carriers. In all
instances it first must be confirmed through adequate
research and testing, that the equipment is suitable to
operate the Allied work tool. General specifications
for this work tool, including the connecting
dimensions, can be found in the Technical Data
section of this manual and shall be strictly observed.
Careful review of the equipment’s specifications
along with thorough knowledge of the system’s
operation, including hydraulic and electric is required.
If in doubt, and further assistance is required, it is the
responsibility of the equipment owner to contact their
authorized Allied dealer or Allied’s Product Support.
Unapproved Use or Modifications
In order to provide and maintain efficient operation
with reliable service, while ensuring operator safety,
the Allied equipment may not be used for any
purpose other than, for which it was intended. Use of
the Allied equipment, other than those cited in this
manual, may place personnel at risk of injury and/or
may subject the equipment to damage.
When making repairs, use only the manufacturer's
genuine parts. Substitute parts may not meet the
required standards for fit and quality, or may impair
function, safety and performance. The Allied
equipment shall not be modified or used in
unapproved applications unless written consent is
received from the Allied Engineering Department.
