0.2.4.5 Head Protection
The Owner should ensure that affected personnel
wear a protective helmet approved by OSHA,
MSHA (or by other applicable authority) when
working in areas where there is a potential for head
injuries from falling objects or walking throughout
areas with low head clearance.
The Owner should ensure that a protective helmet
designed to reduce electrical shock hazard is worn
by personnel when near exposed electrical
conductors which could contact the head.
0.2.4.6 Hand Protection
The Owner should ensure that personnel use
properly sized appropriate hand protection when
hands are exposed to hazards such as those from
skin absorption of harmful substances, cuts or
lacerations, abrasions, punctures, chemical burns,
thermal and electrical burns, and harmful
temperature extremes.
0.2.4.7 Safety Harnesses
The Owner should ensure that any person working
on elevated areas not protected by railings, or on
hazardous places must wear suitable safety
equipment, including safety harnesses, if there is a
risk of falling. Confined spaces may also require
safety harnesses.
0.2.4.8 Work Clothing
The Owner should ensure that personnel wear
appropriate clothing to help protect against
hazardous material and hot surfaces. Loose clothing
can get caught in a nip, shaft, or other moving
machine components.
0.2.4.9 Tools
The Owner should ensure that personnel use
appropriate tools for the job. Use tools that are
specially designed to break away or are easily
released to help avoid certain accident situations
such as unexpected movement at a nip point or a
rotating shaft. Under no circumstances must tools
be allowed to come into contact with moving parts
while the Crushing Plant is energized.
When working in humid or damp environments,
use hydraulic tools or electrical tools that are
suitably grounded, double insulated, or have
ground fault interruption circuits.
