Burns and Electrical Shocks
Protective gloves and coveralls help protect against
burns. Be cautious around and near hydraulic
system hoses, fittings and pipes. Regularly inspect
and repair leaking or damaged high temperature
lines and fluid lines.
To avoid electrical shocks:
– Power must be shut off and locked out
before any servicing or maintenance work
is done. Unplug or disconnect all auxiliary
motors and equipment.
– DO NOT drill blindly into beams,
electrical cabinets or other enclosures.
Avoid any contact between moisture or other fluid
and electrical equipment.
Impact from Ejected Materials
There are several hazards related to falling, flying
or otherwise ejected materials when the Crushing
Plant is being operated or serviced. For example,
rock can be thrown several meters (several yards)
into air out of crushing cavity during operation.
Ejected materials may include rock, tramp metal,
metal rods and work implements. Keep the safety
grate down during the operation. Wear proper
protective clothing (including an approved helmet)
and protective devices. Always use properly
maintained and approved tools and work methods.
Stay clear from the path of ejected materials, also
during lifting, assembly and disassembly
operations.
Removal of tramp iron jammed between the
crushing members is extremely dangerous. Follow
the instructions in the instruction manual.
Do not stand in front of the feed opening or look
into the crushing cavity while the crusher is
operating.
