1. Safety Wear Protective Clothing Wear close-fitting clothing and safety equipment appropriate Eye Protection to the job. Remove all jewelry. Gloves Tie long hair up and back. Wear safety glasses at all times to protect eyes from debris. Steel-Toed Boots Wear gloves to protect your hands from sharp edges on plastic or steel parts.
1. Safety Correct Use The heater shall be used ONLY. 1. When coupled to a drying fan, delivering air flow in the range stated in Heater Dimension Table on Page 17 or on the heater rating plate. 2. When connected directly to a transition duct, delivering the air into the ventilation system of a grain bin/store/dryer.
1. Safety Electrical Safety Equipment shall include: 1. Fuse protected main power supply. a. The electrical supply should include earth leakage protection, eg Residual Current Device (RCD) or Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB), to provide automatic disconnection in the event of a fault.
1. Safety 6. The electrical supply must include a properly designed protective earth system (PE), with connection to all exposed conductive parts. 7. All motors shall be connected to protective earth at the terminal provided. 8. The control system shall include. a.
1. Safety Possible Hazards Inside Grain Bins The inside of a grain bin, no matter what size, is a dangerous location. Grain bins should be kept locked shut at all times. NEVER allow a child or untrained, inexperienced person to enter a grain bin. Hazards present at any time may include: Mass flow of grain when filling or emptying which could draw you in and cause suffocation/burial.
1. Safety Precautions to Reduce Risk of Fire Combustion equipment presents a risk of fire. To reduce this, follow this procedure at least every 20 working days. Protective equipment required for this task shall be determined by risk assessment. 1. Do not smoke or use naked flames. 2.
