Safety Summary
Safe operation requires understanding the hazards that
exist, the techniques for avoiding unsafe situations, and
the features and devices of the machine that support
using it safely.
Hazards:
When operating the machine, the main haz-
ards arise from movement of machine parts, the possi-
bility of fire, and flying or falling materials. Limited
visibility and communication around the machine
increases these risks.
Techniques:
Techniques for reducing risk levels
involve keeping people at a safe distance from the
machine, pointing the hopper in a safe direction, posi-
tioning the machine across the wind, and keeping the
machine clean and well maintained.
Features and Devices:
Safety devices for machine
operation include guards, shields, alarms, automatic
machine response, remote control, hazard warning
labels, and an emergency stop system.
The primary safety devices for machine maintenance
are a battery disconnect and lock-out switch; support
pins and devices; and secure, slip-resistant access.
