2-5 General Responsibility
NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE…
Safety is important. Owners, operators, and maintenance
personnel must realize that every day, safety is a vital aspect of
their jobs.
If your main concern is loss of productivity, remember this:
Production is always affected in a negative way following an
accident. The following are some of the reasons, which can affect
your production:
• Loss of a skilled operator (temporarily or permanently)
• Breakdown of shop morale
• Costly damage to equipment
• Down-time
An effective safety program is responsible and economically
sound.
Organize a safety committee or group, and hold regular meetings.
Promote this group from the management level. Through this
group, the safety program can be continually reviewed,
maintained, and improved. Keep minutes or a record of the
meetings.
Hold daily equipment inspections in addition to regular
maintenance checks. You will keep your equipment safe for
production and exhibit your commitment to safety.
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.
2-6 Operator Responsibility
The operator’s responsibility does not end with efficient
production. The operator usually has the most daily contact with
the dryer 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. Your employer probably
has established a set of safety rules in your workplace. Those
rules, this manual, or any other safety information will not keep
you from being injured while operating your equipment.
