Page 9: Warnings And Precautions
Warnings and Precautions Our equipment is designed to provide safe and reliable operation when installed and operated within design specifications, following national and local safety codes. This may include, but is not limited to OSHA, NEC, CSA, SPI, and any other local, national and international regulations.
Page 10: Responsibility
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. Gravimetric Batch Blenders w/Mitsubishi ControlChapter 1: Safety...
Page 11: Operator Responsibility
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.
Page 12: Maintenance Responsibility
The principle factors that can result in injury are failure to follow proper operating procedures (i.e. lockout/tagout), or failure to maintain a clean and safe working environment. Gravimetric Batch Blenders w/Mitsubishi ControlChapter 1: Safety...
