0.2.1 Safe Products and the Crushing Plant
All machines require human involvement. Like any
other heavy machinery, a Crushing Plant has
inherent dangers that must be identified,
understood and taken into account in order to avoid
accidents and injuries. Metso Minerals, as
machinery manufacturer and supplier, is committed
to promoting safety at the Crushing Plant by
providing safety devices and features, and by
providing training, services, manuals and
instructions.
0.2.2 Safety and You
Safety is everyone’s responsibility; safety is your
responsibility.
Safety is the concern of all personnel. With your
actions, you participate in establishing the safety of
the working environment.
Metso Minerals products are designed and
constructed with safety in mind. The machines
incorporate high quality safety features.
To assure safe operation, all personnel must be alert
when operating or working on or around the
machine. Be aware of real and potential hazards.
Only properly trained personnel should operate,
supervise, maintain, or service the machine.
Personnel must carefully study all aspects of the
specific machine, including:
– operating instructions

instructions
– automated features and motions of the
machine
– specific safety features and instructions
0.2.2.1 Objective
