4 EQUIPMENT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS EN AREA Tells where hazards may occur. HAZARD Tells what the hazard is. SAFEGUARDS Tells how to avoid the hazard. Electric Shock/ Grounding Ungrounded electrical circuits create a risk for electric shock and may cause an electrical fire. Make sure to check ground cables and confirm they are attached at all times. Fire and Explosion Improper grounding of electrical components, poor ventilation of cutting cabinets, open flames or electrical sparks could cause sawdust to ignite.. Be aware of the risk sawdust creates for fire. Clean equipment multiple times daily, making sure sawdust is within OSHA regulations. Use a vacuum to clean inside cutting and electrical cabinets. Clothing and Jewelry Loose clothing could be caught on moving machine parts. Jewelry, including rings, should never be worn when operating equipment. Roll up loose sleeves. Tuck in shirt tails. Remove all jewelry before operating equipment. Cutting Equipment Cutting hazards are present with Alpine Linear and Component Saws. Be aware of sharp equipment edges and spinning blades. NEVER open saw cabinet unless blade is STOPPED and power is OFF Operate the Automill from the front or back of the saw, never on the side near the blades. Assembly Equipment Crush hazard is present with Alpine assembly systems. Failure to inspect safety systems could increase the probability of a crush hazard occurring. Check equipment brakes regularly to ensure proper operation. Check safety systems regularly (light curtains, safety bars, etc.). Report any safety hazards to your supervisor and/or Alpine. Pinch Points Moving equipment, sliding doors and clamping devices can cause pinch points for operators and maintenance staff. Be careful not to place your hands or fingers in areas labled as pinch points or near moving components that are in operation. Hot Surfaces Hazard Hot surfaces could cause severe burns. Electrical components and moving parts will get hot during regular operation. Allow components to cool before touching them. Wear gloves if it is necessary to handle hot components.
