Elevated or Narrow Working Location
Crushing Plants are tall structures. The walkways
and platforms, designed to be used during machine
operation, are furnished with railings to help
prevent falling.
When working on an elevated surface be aware of
machine movements and other activities in the area.
Do not run on the walkways. Do not reach over or
beyond walkway railings while the machine is
running. Do not stand on railings or toe plates.
There may be narrow access routes for maintenance
purposes. Do not use these routes while the
machine is operating.
Do not enter any close quarters within the Crushing
Plant when the machine is operating.
Lifting and Shifting Heavy Loads
•
Cranes
Crushing Plants, like any other type of mechanical
equipment, require regular periodic maintenance.
One of the most flagrant Crushing Plant safety
violations is the use of inadequate and unsafe lifting
equipment. Although a Crushing Plant is a finely
tuned piece of equipment, the internal parts of a
Crushing Plant should be assembled and
disassembled with crane facilities that have the
capability of gently and slowly lifting and lowering
the various parts that make up a Crushing Plant.
Do not use chain hoists (chain blocks) to assemble
or disassemble a Crushing Plant. These lifting
devices lack the stability and robustness required in
lifting and positioning heavy components.
Do not use impact hammer boom or any other
equipment which are not designed for lifting, for
assembly or disassembly purposes.
Affix the load securely to its destination. Never
detach a lifting device from a load until the load
is stable and secured from unintended movement.
When it comes to safety, don’t compromise!
•
Mobile cranes
Safe ratings are based on operating the crane on
firm, level ground. Outriggers must be properly
extended and/or lowered whenever required. Avoid
fast swings, hoists or sudden braking. These can
cause overloads. Do not handle large, heavy loads
in strong winds. When moving your crane, check
bridges before crossing, make sure they will
support the total weight in question. Check
clearances under bridges for overhead electrical
lines and any overhead obstruction. Be sure your
hitcher is clear before starting lift. Make sure the
load is securely attached.
NOTICE
When using a crane, always operate within
the rated capacity of the crane. The safe
rated capacity includes weight of hook,
block and any materials handling devices
such as cables, slings, spreader bars, etc.
Subtract the weight of all these items from
the rated capacity to find the true maximum
weight load that can be handled safely.
Always follow the crane manufacturer’s
operational and safety instructions.
NOTICE
The weight indicated on machine plates tells
the weight of standard configuration. In
many cases the actual weight may differ
greatly from that indicated on a machine
plate due to, casting variations, options, or
ancillary equipment. Always verify the
weight of the object you are lifting before
attempting to lift it.
