Hold daily equipment inspections in addition to regular
maintenance checks. You will keep your equipment safe for
production and exhibit your commitment to safety.
Please read and use this manual as a guide to equipment
safety. This manual contains safety warnings throughout,
specific to each function and point of operation.
2-5 Operator Responsibility
The operator’s responsibility does not end with efficient
production. The operator usually has the most daily contact
with the equipment and intimately knows its capabilities and
limitations.
Plant and personnel safety is sometimes forgotten in the
desire to meet incentive rates, or through a casual attitude
toward machinery formed over a period of months or years.
Your employer probably has established a set of safety rules
in your workplace. Those rules, this manual, or any other
safety information will not keep you from being injured while
operating your equipment.
Learn and always use safe operation. Cooperate with co-
workers to promote safe practices. Immediately report any
potentially dangerous situation to your supervisor or
appropriate person.
2-6 Maintenance Responsibility
Proper maintenance is essential to safety. If you are a
maintenance worker, you must make safety a priority to
effectively repair and maintain equipment.
Before removing, adjusting, or replacing parts on a machine,
remember to turn off all electric supplies and all accessory
equipment at the machine, and disconnect and lockout
electrical power. Attach warning tags to the disconnect
switch.
Be sure that all non-current carrying parts are correctly
connected to earth ground with an electrical conductor that
complies with current codes. Install in accordance with
national and local codes.
When you have completed the repair or maintenance
procedure, check your work, remove your tools. Rigging, and
handling equipment.
