Preparing to Crush
Plant Location Considerations
n DANGER
The environment in which the plant will
operate contains inherent health and
safety risks, which the operator must take
steps to avoid.
Dangers from overhead conveyor
discharges, overspill material, vehicle
movements, etc., as well as other site
related hazards must be anticipated.
Avoid these by carrying out risk
assessments before the plant is put into
operation to ensure appropriate exclusion
zone measures are put in place and site
personnel safety awareness training has
been undertaken.
1. Prior to setting up the plant, consideration
should be given to a suitable layout to prevent
oversize material or metal from entering
the plant. In order to prevent bridging of
the crusher no material above the size
recommended should be fed into the plant.
2. Position the plant in a safe, level, operating
position making sure both tracks are in full
contact with the ground to minimise movement
of the plant. Regularly check the plant is level
and stable.
3. Pay attention to access from the loading area
and to where material is to be deposited.
4. Ensure the area under the tail drum of the
product conveyor is free of large stones etc.
Which may cause damage to the belt.
