Fourteen safety measures to prevent mechanical injury accidents

Thread Content

Mechanical injury accidents are relatively common safety incidents in the industrial and trade sector. Mechanical injury accidents come in severe forms, such as bruising, crushing injuries, compression injuries, trampling injuries, injuries caused by flying objects, and abrasions. When it is detected that someone has been injured by machinery, although the machine is stopped urgently, the inertia of the equipment can still cause fatal injuries to the victim. http://img.aqsc.cn/images/2016-08-11/1470900673718.JPG Main preventive measures to avoid mechanical injury accidents: http://img.aqsc.cn/images/2016-08-11/1470900705071.JPG 1. When maintaining machinery, it is necessary to strictly follow the procedures of turning off the power, installing warning signs indicating that switching back on is prohibited, and assigning a dedicated person to oversee the process. After the machine is powered off, it is necessary to confirm that its inertial motion has been completely eliminated before proceeding with work ； After mechanical maintenance is completed, and prior to conducting a trial run, it is necessary to conduct a thorough inspection of the site; the switch can only be turned on after confirming that all personnel are completely removed from the area where the machinery is located ； During maintenance and trial runs, it is strictly prohibited to have anyone remaining inside the equipment to start it up. II. Machinery that comes into direct and frequent contact with people must be equipped with a functional emergency braking device. The position of this brake button must be such that the operator can reach it at any time within the range of mechanical operations ； All transmission parts of mechanical equipment must be equipped with reliable protective devices ； All manholes, feed inlets, screw conveyors, and other such components must be equipped with covers, guardrails, and warning signs ； Keep the working environment clean and tidy. http://img.aqsc.cn/images/2016-08-11/1470900744562.jpg III. The layout of various mechanical switches must be reasonable and must comply with the specified standards. Facilitates emergency shutdown by the operator ； Avoid accidentally activating other devices. IV. When performing tasks such as cleaning debris from machinery, removing stuck materials, and applying belt wax, it is necessary to follow the procedures of shutting down the machine, turning off the power, and placing warning signs. http://img.aqsc.cn/images/2016-08-11/1470900799811.jpg 5. It is strictly prohibited for unauthorized persons to enter areas where mechanical operations take place and where there are significant safety hazards. If someone who is not involved in the mechanical operation needs to enter such an area for some reason, they must first contact the person in charge of the operation, and entry will only be permitted if appropriate safety measures have been taken. VI. Personnel who operate various types of machinery must receive professional training, possess basic knowledge of the performance of such equipment, pass relevant examinations, and work with valid certificates. While operating the machinery, they must handle it carefully, strictly adhere to relevant rules and regulations, use protective equipment properly, and it is strictly prohibited for unqualified persons to operate mechanical equipment. VII. The wires for power supply must be installed properly, with no damage or leaks. VIII. The motor insulation must be good, and its wiring board should be protected by a cover. 9. Switches, buttons, etc. should be in good condition, and their live parts must not be exposed. X. Local lighting should use safe voltage; the use of 110 volts or 220 volts is prohibited. 11. Before operation, safety checks should be conducted on the mechanical equipment; it should first be run without a load, and only after it is confirmed to be functioning properly should it be put into use. 12. It is strictly prohibited to adjust mechanical equipment by hand while it is in operation ； Do not measure parts by hand, nor perform tasks such as lubrication or cleaning debris. http://img.aqsc.cn/images/2016-08-11/1470900871945.jpg 13. When mechanical equipment is in operation, the operator must not leave their post. 14. After the work is completed, the switch should be turned off, and the tool and the workpiece should be moved out of their working positions. Copy search to enable quick search settings
