General Safety Requirements—Vital Information for Management Personnel
Provide any safety guards, fences, restraints, devices, and verbal and/or posted restrictions
necessary to prevent personnel, machines, or other moving machinery from accessing the
machine or its path. Provide adequate ventilation to carry away heat and vapors. Ensure service
connections to installed machines meet local and national safety standards, especially regarding
the electrical disconnect (see the National Electric Code). Prominently post safety information,
including signs showing the source of electrical disconnect.
Personnel
1.2.
Inform personnel about hazard avoidance and the importance of care and common sense. Provide
personnel with the safety and operating instructions that apply to them. Verify that personnel use
proper safety and operating procedures. Verify that personnel understand and abide by the
warnings on the machine and precautions in the instruction manuals.
Safety Devices
1.3.
Ensure that no one eliminates or disables any safety device on the machine or in the facility. Do
not allow machine to be used with any missing guard, cover, panel or door. Service any failing or
malfunctioning device before operating the machine.
Hazard Information
1.4.
Important information on hazards is provided on the machine safety placards, in the Safety Guide,
and throughout the other machine manuals. Placards must be kept clean so that the
information is not obscured. They must be replaced immediately if lost or damaged. The
Safety Guide and other machine manuals must be available at all times to the appropriate
personnel. See the machine service manual for safety placard part numbers. Contact the Milnor
Parts department for replacement placards or manuals.
Maintenance
1.5.
Ensure the machine is inspected and serviced in accordance with the norms of good practice and
with the preventive maintenance schedule. Replace belts, pulleys, brake shoes/disks, clutch
plates/tires, rollers, seals, alignment guides, etc. before they are severely worn. Immediately
investigate any evidence of impending failure and make needed repairs (e.g., cylinder, shell, or
frame cracks; drive components such as motors, gear boxes, bearings, etc., whining, grinding,
smoking, or becoming abnormally hot; bending or cracking of cylinder, shell, frame, etc.; leaking
seals, hoses, valves, etc.) Do not permit service or maintenance by unqualified personnel.
