MP SERIES CONE CRUSHER TECHNICAL REFERENCE MANUAL
0.2.4.2 Eye and Face Protection
General requirements should include:
– The Owner should ensure that personnel
for the machine area use appropriate eye
or face protection when exposed to eye or
face hazards such as flying material,
molten metal, liquid chemicals, acids or
caustic liquids, chemical gases or vapors.
– The Owner should ensure that affected
personnel use eye protection that includes
side protection from flying objects.
– The Owner should ensure that affected
personnel who wear prescription lenses
while engaged in operations that involve
possible eye hazards wear eye protection
that incorporates the prescription in its
design, or wear eye protection that can be
worn over the prescription lenses without
disturbing the proper position of the
prescription lenses or the protective
lenses.
0.2.4.3 Respiratory Protection
Respiratory protection is required when the air
contains contamination such as harmful dusts, fogs,
fumes, mists, gases, smokes, sprays, or vapors. The
primary objective is to protect the health of
workers.
Respiratory protection must be provided by the
Owner when such equipment is necessary to protect
the health of personnel. The Owner shall provide
the respiratory protection and training programs,
which are applicable and suitable for the purpose
intended and comply with the latest requirements
and recommendations of health authorities and
regulatory agencies.
0.2.4.4 Foot Protection
The Owner shall ensure that affected personnel use
protective footwear when working in areas where
there is a danger of foot injuries due to falling or
rolling objects piercing the sole, and where feet are
exposed to electrical or chemical hazards.
CAUTION
The area should be well ventilated. Epoxy
fumes can cause nausea or eye or skin
irritation.
NOTICE
The enormous degree of convenience as
well as the high safety factor involved when
using plastic backing agents has made the
use of molten zinc for Crushing Plant liner
backing obsolete. See 0.2.3.1.
WARNING
Breathing dust may be hazardous to the
health of anyone working at, on, or around
the Crushing Plant.
NOTICE
Metso Minerals highly recommends that
adequate dust-protective devices such as a
respirator be worn by anyone exposed to
airborne dust, particularly silica dust, to
prevent its inhalation.
