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 that
may be 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 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 other
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.
