Manufacturer’s Intended Use of This Bin Sweep


Considerations that may result in a hazard, damage the Sweep and/or
void the WARRANTY
This BROCK® Bin Sweep is designed specifically for installations into Grain Bins
containing FREE-FLOWING AGRICULTURAL GRAIN (“Grain”). See “Definition of
Dry, Free-flowing Grain” below. Using this equipment for any other purpose or in a
way not within the operating recommendations specified in this Manual will void the
Warranty and may cause injury or death.
BROCK® Bin Sweeps shall be used to condition only the commodities specified above and
within the Bin Sweep’s rated capacity and power specifications wherein it may safely
operate. BROCK® Bin Sweeps and related accessories/mounting options are offered in
several models for specific uses. In order to maintain your Warranty and not damage your
Sweep/Grain Bin, the appropriate type of accessory (i.e., Sump, Track Strips) must be used.
Consult Brock Grain Systems or your Brock Dealer. Do not use the Sweep for anything
except its intended use as stated above and within the recommendations specified in this
Manual. Damage to a Bin Sweep or Grain Bin can occur due to improper installations of
Grain Bin foundations, finished floors, and aeration flooring. Floors must be level and
installed correctly before a Bin Sweep is installed.
1. Read and understand this Manual and all Safety Decals.
2. Use all Hardware specified in the instructions and make no substitutions.
3. Do not modify or attach any other equipment to the Bin Sweep.
4. Use the Bin Sweep only for loads, speeds and free-flowing Grains it is designed to
safely carry.
WARNING! This Sweep is NOT designed to support any added equipment, neither
at the time of installation nor at a later time. Use of this equipment in
conjunction with any other Manufacturer’s Sweep equipment is NOT
implied. The Manufacturer disclaims and will not be held liable for
damages resulting from the use of components in this Sweep for any
purpose outside the stated purpose.
DANGER! Bin Sweep installations shall meet the National Fire Protection
Association Standard 61B for the prevention of fires and explosions in
Grain elevators and facilities handling bulk raw agricultural
commodities.

Definition of Dry, Free-flowing Grain


The natural angle the Grain or bulk material will form (between the surface where it
is placed and the incline face of the conical shape) is the angle of repose for such
materials. CEMA Standard 550 provides expanded definitions and testing procedures
used to determine the angle of repose for many different bulk materials. CEMA and
ASABE also provide a list of predefined common bulk materials where industry
standards are referenced.
This Bin Sweep is designed for free-flowing Grain. Grain is free-flowing if the
material when poured onto a flat surface will flow in a consistent uniform stream.
The content will pile or form a conical shape with the angle of repose consistent with
the values stated in CEMA (Examples: typically 21° angle for dry corn and 25° for
soybeans). Flowability, a calculation to determine how Grain flows, provides a
computational approach to this measurement. If flowability values are greater than 4
and less than 10, they are considered to be free-flowing granular material. (Reference
CEMA Standard 550 for further definition and method of calculation.)

Bin Sweep and Auger Hazards


Lacerations and/or Amputation
DANGER! Entanglement in a moving auger is life-threatening! Rotating flighting can kill!
Per hours of usage, augers are one of the most dangerous types of farm equipment.
Augers should not be running with a worker inside the bin. However, this is a hazard
that must be addressed. Sweeps may pose a greater danger when the bin is nearly
empty. A moving auger can approach from behind, the noise drowned out by other
facility equipment.
Augers cut through Grain in a rotary motion at such a speed that almost instantaneous
amputation can occur between the flighting and tube. Even lacerations without a full
amputation can cause serious blood and/or tissue loss.
WARNING! A running auger can quickly entrap and dismember. Once a victim is
entangled, the auger moves TOO FAST to draw back hands or feet. The
larger the diameter of the auger, the larger the blade and greater the risk
of a traumatizing or fatal entanglement.
DANGER! NEVER enter the Grain Bin tank while the Bin Sweep is unloading. Make
sure the Bin Sweep power source is shut off and LOCKED OUT before
entering the Grain Bin. Failure to follow these instructions will result in
death or serious injury.
Train all personnel properly around augers and other bin-related hazards.
Persons can become caught in an auger if loose-fitting clothing, flowing scarves or
jewelry becomes caught in an access point of a moving auger. DO NOT enter the bin
even by leaning in the door—which is one reason a bin entry permit is so critical. A
person kneeling into the door, having loose a drawstring or shoestring—can be pulled
in as the sweep is passing. Wear close-fitting clothing, zippered or buttoned, never
floppy or loose-fitting.
If a person is caught in the auger at any speed, clothing and body parts are quickly
pulled into the rotating metal. Clothing and flesh are cut along with Grain, with the
possibility of strangulation.
Any worker who is tired and/or under pressure is more apt to have an accident. In the
event a person is overcome by heat or dust in a bin, a person can temporarily lose
footing. A slip or trip can become life-threatening in seconds. If an auger is running,
even slowly, there are hazards if a worker is near it. Free-flowing Grain poses a
hazard when it is moving and rolling along the floor from a sweep intake suction.
There can be considerable dragging of a victim before the auger is stopped manually,
or its own when the drive mechanism becomes labored or squeals, alerting others of
the emergency.
In the event you are inside a Grain Bin and the Sweep unexpectedly starts:
Get out of the bin as soon as possible without getting trapped in front of the Sweep
auger moving between you and an exit. Sweeps may pose a greater danger when the
bin is nearly empty. A moving auger can approach from behind, the noise drowned
out by other facility equipment.
In the event someone enters a Grain Bin when the Bin Sweep is running
or starts:
TURN OFF the Sweep at its Disconnect on the Control Panel.
LOCK OUT and TAG OUT all power to the Sweep.
Get the person out of the bin before power is restored to the Sweep.
In the event someone enters a Grain Bin and is INJURED
by the Bin Sweep:
IMMEDIATELY take these basic RESCUE steps, in whatever order your facility
emergency plan requires:
• TURN OFF the Sweep at its Disconnect on the Control Panel.
• Call 9-1-1 for emergency
• LOCK OUT and TAG OUT all power to the Sweep. (continued)
MSD2105A 17
SAFETY BROCK® 2000TD Commercial Express Bin Sweep Owner/Maintenance

All needed personnel must be contacted to arrive on the scene ASAP.


Begin rescue procedures according to your facility emergency plan and
how you are instructed by emergency personnel.
Any Sweep accident that involves extrication from entanglement will require
medical assistance plus mechanical expertise to dismantle the Sweep. Call in
technicians immediately for disassembly of a sweep or any other piece of farm
equipment which may be complex enough to require expert disassembly.

Entanglement
Shut down the auger, LOCKOUT/TAGOUT power. Do NOT allow the auger to
power-move at all to free a victim. This could result in even more injury. Extrication
of a victim is best completed with medical personnel who can monitor respiration,
bleeding, signs of shock, and/or evidence of neck/spinal injury.
If the auger is full of Grain, an opening should be cut in the bottom of the tube, about
2 feet [610] above (between the victim and the center Sump) the entangled limb. The
Grain can flow out. If the entanglement is only clothing, it may be possible to free
the victim by manually reversing the auger by rotating the drive line in a direction
opposite its normal rotation (clockwise as you face the auger Gearbox). Be sure to
extricate even clothing as quickly and safely as possible because some constriction
may cut off blood flow or strangle the victim. Attend to the obvious injuries which
may be the more severe blood loss (lacerations and fractures).
TIME IS CRITICAL! If a limb is entangled but not amputated, cut the auger tube from around the auger
screw and limb. If a limb is drawn into the auger, the extrication procedure can be
complex and time consuming. DO NOT reverse the auger even by manual power,
or there is likelihood the limb will be amputated! Coordinate communication with the
hospital or other rescue resources and follow all their instructions.
Entanglement with amputation: If skin tissue or limbs have been severed, locate
the tissue or body part for possible preservation and reattachment. If it cannot be
immediately found, it is common to check the auger outlet or the Grain Bin floor
where the Sweep has passed already. DO NOT reverse the auger even by manual
power. Reversing the auger may damage the tissue beyond repair.
Coordinate communication with the hospital or other rescue resources and follow all
their instructions.
IMPORTANT! Follow the advice of emergency personnel if there is tissue to be
transported to a medical facility.
When limbs are entangled they tend to elongate into the auger, so care must be taken
not to injure the limb when cutting the auger/tube.
If the auger tube must be cut to free an entanglement:
Cuts can be made 2-4 feet [610-1219] up each side of the auger tube with an air chisel
or portable cutting tool (similar to a portable power saw) that uses an abrasive wheel.
Cut across the top of the tube to expose the auger screw and limb. Then lift out both
the limb and the auger it is attached to.
Do not allow the auger to bend and collapse after the housing has been removed. It
may be more difficult to cut the pipe on larger diameter augers.
With severe entanglements it may be necessary to cut more of the auger section.
Ensure there is support at both auger ends during this process. If it is not possible at
this point to remove the limb from the screw, then the entire section of auger/screw,
attached to the victim, must somehow be transported to the hospital, where the
patient can be better monitored during extrication of the limb.
CAUTION! Protect workers and victim from flying metal and sparks. DO NOT USE
an oxyacetylene torch! Beware of fire hazards of using torches to cut
equipment inside enclosed spaces where Grain dust is present.

Safety Hazards and Recommendations


Points That Could Save Your Life
Remember to always follow national and locally developed guidelines (OSHA in the
U.S.) and applicable sections for safe Grain system operation.
1. Never enter a bin of flowing Grain—when loading or unloading equipment is
running, whether or not Grain is flowing or stopped; you can be engulfed if and when
the flow resumes. See Figure 8, left. Moving Grain creates a suction that can pull a


worker in within seconds. Never enter a bin that has automatic unloading equipment
without locking out the control panel/circuit and any other power that may start
the equipment.
2. Always be cautious when you are working with Grain that is not in
good condition.
3. Never enter a bin that you do not know the nature of previous Grain removal, especially
Figure 14.
if there is any vertical or horizontal crusting or bridging evident. See Figure 8, left.
There may be blocked flow, toxic molds, empty cavities, cave-offs, or any combination
of the above—which can lead to entrapment/engulfment
and suffocation.
4. Prohibit entry into and do not walk on any surface crust where there is
horizontal bridging. Prohibit entry into and do not walk near any surface crust
where there is vertical bridging.
5. If you are properly trained and qualified to do so and must enter a bin with evident
danger, follow all national, state and local safety codes for bin entry. Complete and
Act responsibly verify that all safety steps required for a Bin Entry Permit have been followed.

depend on it. all mechanical, electrical, hydraulic and pneumatic equipment that presents a danger,
especially unloading equipment, which will cause a worker to be pulled into the
Grain in seconds.
10. Provide per entrant a minimum of two (2) properly equipped attendants stationed
outside the bin, whose only task is to continuously track and communicate with the
entrant in the bin, to provide assistance if necessary, and to be capable of lifting the
entrant out without entering the bin themselves. Never depend on one (1) attendant
only, either on the roof, ground, or any other remote point to whom you would shout
instructions to start or stop equipment. (Equipment noise or other sounds can block
out commands or cries for help.) A single attendant cannot go for help and maintain
preliminary aid outside, and may fall or over-exert in the haste of running to the
control point.
11. The bin entrant must be provided with a proper mask or an adequate dust-filtering
respirator when working in and around Grain handling areas. High amounts of dust
and molds could be present and are extremely dangerous. Never work in obviously
dusty-moldy Grain, or where the presence of CO2 is suspected, without a respirator
capable of filtering fine dust. Be aware that your tolerance to a given material may
be limited, and that you should not deliberately expose yourself to Grain dust on the
premise that you will not be affected at any time.
12. If another person becomes submerged in Grain, assume he is alive. Begin
rescue operations immediately by turning OFF the unloading equipment if not
already locked out, and turning ON the fan to move air into the bin, but: never
attempt a rescue by going into the bin yourself. Call 911. Always have a
rescue plan and be prepared for Grain facility emergencies by working early with
your local emergency team to get training and equipment to do the
job safely.

24 MSD2105A
BROCK® 2000TD Commercial Express Bin Sweep Owner/Maintenance SAFETY

There are Inhalation Dangers in Grain!


DANGER! Carbon Dioxide (CO2): Wet Grain will ferment when it is stored,
producing carbon dioxide (CO2), a colorless, odorless gas. CO2 pushes
air out of the Grain Bin, resulting in an oxygen-deficient atmosphere.
Entering a Grain Bin where CO2 is present, can cause breathing
difficulties, drowsiness, headaches, and possibly death. Monitor CO2
levels and air quality.
In order to avoid this hazard, follow these precautions:
• Do not enter the Grain Bin if CO2 (carbon dioxide) exceeds safe levels.
• Open all manholes and all doors and purge the Grain Bin with fresh air. If the Grain
Bin does not contain a fan, the only way to purge the Grain Bin is to unload the
Grain and open all manholes and doors.
If a co-worker enters the Grain Bin and is overcome by CO2, do not attempt a rescue
unless wearing an adequate self-contained breathing apparatus. Contact local
emergency medical/rescue service immediately.
Dust
All Grain contains a certain amount of dust. However, spoiled Grain can release
excessive dust and mold spores into the air during handling (especially during clean-
out), which can cause serious long-term respiratory problems.
In order to avoid this hazard, follow these precautions:
• Always wear an adequate dust mask or respirator, and ventilate the work area.
• Never work alone when inside a Grain Bin or during clean-out.
• Always turn off, LOCKOUT/TAGOUT all power when entering the Grain Bin,
and follow all other applicable SAFETY instructions addressed in this Manual and
on all SAFETY Decals.
Fumigants
Fumigants used to destroy insects are usually highly toxic substances and cause
serious injury when inhaled, swallowed, or absorbed through the skin. In addition,
under certain conditions, some fumigants can be explosive.
• Always read and follow the fumigant label recommendations.
• Post WARNING signs to alert others of dangers during fumigation.
• It may be more cost-efficient and safer to have stored Grain fumigated by a licensed
professional fumigator. In some locations, the law may require the use of
licensed fumigators.

BROCK® 2000TD Commercial Express Bin Sweep Owner/Maintenance Operation

Unloading Requirements
To insure positive performance and minimum maintenance, Brock Grain Systems
recommends that this equipment be observed by one (1) Operator during the
complete unloading operation. Position the Operator outside the Grain Bin.
Use the Bin Sweep only for loads it is designed to handle safely. Bin Sweep
equipment shall be used to convey only the specified commodities or Grain within
the rated capacity and the rated speed. Where special use is not indicated, or ratings
are not available, consult Brock Grain Systems.
• Do NOT leave the Bin Sweep running unattended.
• Should any damage to the Bin Sweep occur, shut off, lock out and tag out power
immediately.
• Do NOT restart the Bin Sweep until necessary inspections and repairs have
been made.
• Shut off, lock out and tag out all power after using the Bin Sweep.
WARNING! All personnel must be clear of the Bin Sweep while it is running. ANSI
LOCK OUT/TAG OUT procedures MUST BE FOLLOWED when making
adjustments to bring Bin Sweep machinery into tolerance (ref: ANSI
B15. 1, B20. 1, and 244.1).
1. Do not leave the Bin Sweep running unattended.
2. Should any damage to the Bin Sweep occur, shut off, LOCK OUT and TAG OUT
power immediately.
3. Do not restart the Bin Sweep until necessary inspections and repairs have
been made.
4. Shut off, LOCK OUT and TAG OUT all power after using the Bin Sweep.
Operation Procedure
1. Start the Bin Sweep.
2. Withdraw Grain at “gravity-rate” through the center floor Sump.
3. Withdraw material through the next floor Sumps when facing the outer wall.
4. Repeat the above step when additional floor Sumps exist, until you reach the last
one when facing the outer Grain Bin wall.
5. Start auger rotation only, and allow the Grain to flow into these openings until no
more material comes out of the unloading system.
6. From the outside of the Grain Bin, start the Bin Sweep Drive Wheels in the
‘forward’ setting to start the Bin Sweep movement.
7. Run the system as long as required or until the Grain Bin is empty.
8. When Sweep operation has been completed and the Bin is empty, park the Sweep
two-to-three feet—2' - 3'—[610 - 914] behind the intermediate sumps, not to
obstruct the flow of the discharge of Grain for the next use.
NOTE: Adding intermediate sumps cleans out the Grain that is in front and on top of
the Sweep, which helps with Sweep start-up.
IMPORTANT! If the Bin Sweep is to be inoperative for a prolonged period of time,
operate the Sweep until material no longer discharges before shutting
it down. This is very important as the conveyed material may become
hard over a period of time.
Power Cord Routing
WARNING! Unless a Collector Ring is being used, after four (4) or five (5) complete
Bin Sweep revolutions, you must disconnect the Power Cord at this
point to avoid damage to the Power Cord. Backlash the Cord and
reconnect it to the receptacle for future operation. Failure to do this step
will result in serious injury or death and damage to the equipment.

Lubricants
Check these points weekly or every fifty (50) hours of operation. Check oil levels in
gear boxes, and add as required.* Replace lubricants only with food-grade oils. To
avoid equipment damage, lubricate all Bearings and Drives according to the
instructions in this Manual. When anti-friction Bearings are used, check for proper
lubrication. Too much or too little lubricant will cause high operating temperatures
that may damage the Bin Sweep. (*AGMA Comp. #8, 80-90 weight gear oil, non-
detergent, non-foaming).
Gearboxes are not shipped with oil, so immediate filling is required. Check these
points weekly or every fifty (50) hours of operation.
WARNING! DO NOT operate the Bin Sweep without gear oil. GEARBOXES are
shipped dry or without gear oil. Refer to specifications above for proper
filling and maintenance of the Gearbox. Failure to add the proper type/

IMPORTANT! The torque and resulting tension lists are provided as an advisory
guide. Individual application discretion is recommended. The content
has been presented as accurately as possible, but responsibility for its
application lies with the User and Installer.
Unless noted otherwise, all structural connections using 5/8 inch diameter or larger
bolts shall be installed as pre-tensioned joints without washers. Smaller bolts or
joints, as designated, may be installed to a snug-tight condition.
IMPORTANT! Use the “Turn-of-Nut” method for tightening all structural connections that
require 5/8 inch diameter or larger bolts. See detailed explanation of the “Turn-
of-Nut” method when tightening structural connections.
Brock Grain Systems only recommends minimum size anchor bolts.

Turn-of-Nut Pre-tensioning Method


All bolts shall first be installed to a snug-tight condition. Subsequently, the nut or
head rotation specified in Table 1 shall be applied to all fastener assemblies in the
joint, progressing systematically from the most rigid part of the joint in a manner that
will minimize relaxation of previously pre-tensioned bolts. The part not turned by the
wrench shall be prevented from rotating during this operation.
IMPORTANT! Use the “Snug Tight” method for tightening all smaller bolts or joints as
designated. See detailed explanation of the “Snug Tight” method when
tightening various connections.

Snug-Tightened Joints
Bolt holes shall be aligned to permit insertion of the bolts without undue damage to
threads. Bolts shall be placed in all holes with nuts threaded to complete the
assembly. Compacting the joint to the snug-tight condition shall progress
systematically from the most rigid part of the joint.
The snug-tight condition is the tightness that is attained with a few impacts of an
impact wrench or the full effort of an ironworker using an ordinary spur wrench to
bring the connected piles into firm contact. More than one cycle through the bolt
pattern may be required to achieve the snug-tight joint.

IMPORTANT! The previously listed torque and resulting tension are provided as an advisory
guide. Individual application discretion is recommended. The content has
been presented as accurately as possible, but responsibility for its application
lies with the User and the Installer.
Because of the danger of falling or flying debris, protective eye wear/safety glasses
MUST be worn during installation and servicing this piece of equipment.
Torque figures indicated above are valid for non-greased or non-oiled threads and
heads, unless otherwise specified. Therefore, do not increase or oil bolts or capscrews
unless otherwise specified in this manual. When using locking elements, increase
torque values by 5%.

Intermediate Hopper/Well Location(s)


CAUTION! The Grain Bin MUST have intermediate hopper sumps at a minimum of
ten feet, or 10'-0" [3 048] apart, from the Center Sump to the Bin wall. Do
not place intermediate hopper wells in the way of Drives or Support
Wheels. Failure to follow this instruction could cause damage to the
equipment and void the Warranty.
Grain is withdrawn at “gravity-rate” through the center hopper Sump and the
intermediate sumps, unloading at equal rates per bin Manufacturer’s
recommendations, to the angle of repose. Adding intermediate Sumps cleans out the
Grain that is in front and on top of the Sweep, which helps with Sweep start-up.
Once Sweep operation has been completed, park the Sweep two-to-three feet [610 -
914] behind the intermediate sumps, not to obstruct the flow of the discharge of
Grain for the next use.

Appendix B:
Manufacturer's Recommended Minimum LOCKOUT/TAGOUT Energy Control Procedures
The following procedures amount to minimum instructions for Lockout/Tagout. Any more stringent, current, or
up-to-date requirements pursuant to OSHA or other regulations must be followed to the extent applicable.
Purpose
The procedures listed herein are intended to provide minimum instructions to operators and/or end users of products supplied by the Manufacturer. To
the extent that applicable laws, regulations, and/or codes, (such as, without limitation, OSHA regulations and requirements), provide more stringent require-
ments, all erectors, installers, operators and/or end users of the products referenced in this manufacturer’s product manual, such applicable laws, regula-
tions and/or codes MUST be followed. Whenever maintenance or servicing is completed to machines or equipment, all such maintenance and servicing
shall be completed in accordance with the requirements of OSHA's 1910.147, et seq., including any amendments thereto. Such requirements are designed
to ensure that the machine or equipment is stopped, isolated from all potentially hazardous energy sources and locked out before employees or operators
perform any maintenance or servicing where the unexpected energization or start-up of the machine or equipment or release of stored energy could cause
injury.
Authorized and Affected Individuals
Authorized operators and individuals who must be trained on these procedures include, without limitation, individuals who must lock out or tag out
machines or equipment in order to perform servicing or maintenance on that machine or equipment. Affected individuals who must follow these procedures
and be trained on the minimum requirements stated herein include individuals whose job responsibilities or operational responsibilities require him/her to
operate or use a machine or equipment on which servicing or maintenance may be performed, or whose job responsibilities or operational responsibilities
require him/her to work in an area in which such servicing or maintenance is being performed. An individual should not be authorized to perform such job
responsibilities and/or operational responsibilities until he/she is properly trained on these procedures and is properly trained to complete such servicing or
maintenance tasks.
Service and/or Maintenance
Work place activities such as construction, installing, setting up, adjusting, inspecting, modifying and maintaining and/or servicing machines or equipment
must be subject to the minimum procedures stated herein and any additional procedures required by applicable law, regulation or code. Additional activi-
ties, such as lubrication, cleaning or unjamming of machines or equipment, and making adjustments or tool changes, where the individual performing the
activity may be exposed to the unexpected energization or start up of the equipment or release of hazardous energy must also be subject to the minimum
procedures stated herein and any additional procedures required by applicable law, regulation or code.
These minimum procedures must be followed by maintenance and setup personnel. Maintenance personnel must follow such minimum procedures in
the event that any type of required repair, cleaning, maintenance, inspections, adjusting, or servicing (e.g., electrical, mechanical, or other such servicing
that requires entrance into or close contact with the machinery).
Setup personnel must follow these minimum procedures in the event that any type of setup is required (e.g., replacing dies, adjusting guards, adjusting
die components / tooling, removal of jammed parts, or other such activities that require entrance into or close contact with the machinery).
Machinery and Equipment
Unlike small appliances or hand tools, industrial machinery requires more than turning off a switch and unplugging. The power for such equipment comes
from multiple, interactive energy sources. If all energy sources are not isolated before service (setup and/or maintenance) is performed, an accidental
release of energy could occur which could result in serious injury or even death. These forms of energy include: electrical, pneumatic, chemical, thermal,
hydraulic, mechanical, or gravity. When machines or equipment need to be serviced, this energy must be isolated so authorized personnel can safely per-
form the work.
Each individual fitting the above descriptions must be issued locks, with identifying tags, which must be used only by that person. Locks must not be
transferable from person to person, and each individual must be held responsible for his/her own locks and keys. Each lock must be numbered and a mas-
ter list showing the number, and the individual using it, must be under the supervision of the facilities or project site manager.
Lockout/Tagout Procedures
Lockout/Tagout is the preferred method of isolating machines, or equipment, from energy sources. Tagout is to be performed, instead of lockout, only
when there is no way to lockout a machine. The authorized maintenance supervisor must be notified if there is no way to lockout a machine. The autho-
rized maintenance supervisor must then evaluate equipment for future lockout capabilities.
Affected individuals must be notified when their machine is to be locked out according to the following method. All types of machinery and equipment
mentioned above must be subject to these minimum shutdown, isolation, blocking and securing procedures for Lockout/Tagout.
Step One: Preparation for shutdown
Before an authorized or affected individual turns off a machine or equipment, the authorized individual shall have a working knowledge of the specific
equipment, the type and magnitude of the energy, the hazards of the energy to be controlled, and the method or means to control the energy.
Step Two: Machine or equipment shutdown
The machine or equipment shall be turned off or shut down using the procedures established for that specific machine or piece of equipment. An orderly
shutdown must be utilized to avoid any additional, or increased, hazard(s) to individuals as a result of equipment stoppage.
Step Three: Machine or equipment isolation
All energy isolating devices that are needed to control the energy to the machine or equipment shall be physically located and operated, in such a man-
ner, as to isolate the machine or equipment from the energy source(s).
Step Four: Lockout/Tagout device application
All types of machinery and equipment listed above fall under these lockout placement, removal, transfer, and responsibility minimum procedures. Lock-
out/Tagout devices shall be affixed to each energy isolating device by authorized individuals. Lockout devices, where used, shall be affixed in a manner
that will hold the energy isolating devices in a "safe" or "off" position. Tagout devices, where used, shall be affixed in such a manner as will clearly indi-
cate that the operation or movement of energy isolating devices from the "safe" or "off" position is prohibited. Where a tag cannot be affixed directly to
the energy isolating device, the tag shall be located as close as safely possible to the device, in a position that will be immediately obvious to anyone
attempting to operate the device.
Step Five: Stored energy
Following the application of Lockout/Tagout devices to energy isolating devices, all potentially hazardous stored or residual energy must be relieved, dis-
connected, restrained, and otherwise rendered safe. If there is a possibility of reaccumulation of stored energy to a hazardous level, verification of isola-
tion shall be continued until the servicing or maintenance is completed, or until the possibility of such accumulation no longer exists.
Step Six: Verification of isolation
Prior to starting work on machines or equipment that have been locked out or tagged out, the authorized individual shall verify that isolation and de-ener-
gization of the machine or equipment have been accomplished, even though isolation is performed prior to shutdown and is checked at that point. Verify
the isolation of the equipment by operating the push button or other normal operating or startup control(s) to make certain the equipment will not operate.

MSD2105A 53
Specifications and Distance Charts BROCK® 2000TD Commercial Express Bin Sweep Owner/Maintenance
Return the operating control(s) to neutral or “off” position after verifying that the equipment is isolated. The machine or equipment is now locked out
and servicing or maintenance may safely begin.
Step Seven: Release from Lockout/Tagout.
Before Lockout/Tagout devices are removed and energy is restored to the machine or equipment, procedures shall be followed and actions taken by
the authorized individual(s) to ensure the following:
The machine or equipment: The work area shall be inspected to ensure that nonessential items have been removed and to ensure that machine or
equipment components are operationally intact.
Individuals Present: The work area shall be checked to ensure that all individuals have been safely positioned or removed. After Lockout/Tagout devices
have been removed and before a machine or equipment is started, affected individuals shall be notified that the Lockout/Tagout device(s) have been
removed.
Step Eight: Lockout/tagout devices removal
Each Lockout/Tagout device shall be removed from each energy isolating device by the individual who applied the device. Exception: When the
authorized individual who applied the Lockout/Tagout device is not available to remove it, that device may be removed under the direction of the
authorized supervisor, provided that specific procedures and training for such removal have been developed, documented and incorporated into the
owner’s control program. The owner shall demonstrate that the specific procedure provides equivalent safety to the removal of the device by the
authorized individual who applied it. The specific procedure shall include at least the following elements:
a. Verification by the owner (supervisor / manager) that the authorized individual who applied the device is not at the facility / project site.
b. Making all the reasonable efforts to contact the authorized individual to inform him/her that his/her Lockout/Tagout device has been removed.
c. Ensuring that the authorized individual has the knowledge before he/she resumes work at that facility / project site.
Shift or Personnel Changes
When a shift or personnel change occurs, a designated individual shall ensure the continuity of Lockout/Tagout protection.
The designated individual shall provide for the orderly transfer of Lockout/Tagout devices between off-going and on-coming individuals to minimize risk
from stored energy.
In general, if a piece of equipment is locked out at shift change, the person on the next shift must apply their lock before the individual who is leaving
can remove their lock. In the event that no authorized individual or supervisor is available to transfer the Lockout/Tagout device, a designated depart-
ment lock can be used to lockout the equipment during this time frame. As soon as the next shift authorized individual is available, he/she must ensure
the equipment is properly de-energized and then place their own Lockout/Tagout device on the equipment.
At this point in time the department lock should be removed and returned to its designated storage location. The department lock is never to be used
as an individual lockout protection device while servicing or repairing equipment.
Group Lockout/Tagout
If more than one individual is servicing or setting up the machinery, each individual will use their own lock on the lockout. This prevents undue expo-
sure to a potential hazard. The last individual working on the machinery will remove his/her lock and the tag indicating the work has been completed.
The locks should remain on the switch until all work has been completed unless it is necessary for the machinery to be operable between servicing and/
or maintenance and does not expose the worker or operator to any unnecessary danger.
Operator Training
The owner must provide effective initial training and retraining as necessary and must certify that such training has been given to all workers and oper-
ators covered by these minimum procedures. The certification must contain each worker and/or operator’s name and dates of training.
For the purposes of these minimum procedures, there are three types of individuals — authorized, affected, and other. The amount and kind of train-
ing that each individual should receive is based upon (1) the relationship of that individual’s responsibilities in relation to the machine or equipment being
locked and tagged out, and (2) the degree of knowledge relevant to hazardous energy that he or she must possess.
For example, the owner’s training program for authorized individuals (those who are charged with the responsibility for implementing the energy con-
trol procedures and performing the service and maintenance) must cover, at minimum, the following areas: (1) details about the type and magnitude of
the hazardous energy sources present in the workplace; and (2) the methods and means necessary to isolate and control those energy sources (i.e., the
elements of the energy control procedures). By contrast, affected individuals (usually the machine operators or users) and all other individuals who have
access to such machines and/or equipment must be able to: (1) recognize when the control procedure is being implemented; and (2) understand the pur-
pose of the procedure and the importance of not attempting to start up or use the machinery and/or equipment that has been locked or tagged out.
Because an “affected” individual is not one who is performing the service or maintenance, that individual’s responsibilities under these minimum pro-
cedures are more simple (i.e., whenever there is a Lockout/Tagout device in place on an energy-isolating device, the affected individual must leave it
alone and never attempt to operate the machinery and/or equipment).
Every training program must ensure that all authorized and affected individuals understand the purpose, function and restrictions of these minimum
energy control procedures and that authorized individuals possess the knowledge and skills necessary for the safe application, use, and removal of energy
controls.
Training programs used for compliance with these minimum procedures and/or other more stringent applicable procedures, which are performance-
oriented, should deal with the equipment, type(s) of energy, and hazard(s) specific to the environment being covered.
Retraining must be provided, as required, whenever there is a change in work and/or operational assignments, a change in machines, equipment or
processes that present a new hazard, or a change in minimum energy control procedures. Additional retraining must be conducted whenever a periodic
inspection reveals, or whenever the relevant authorized supervisor has reason to believe, that there are deviations from or inadequacies in the autho-
rized individual’s knowledge or use of the minimum required energy control procedure.
Periodic Inspection
A periodic inspection is done, looking at the minimum energy control procedures performed to ensure that such minimum procedures and require-
ments are being followed. The inspection should be performed monthly by the authorized supervisor with the intent of evaluating the authorized individu-
als at least once per year. This information should be recorded on a Lockout/Tagout Inspection Sheet / Log. All original copies should be maintained by
the owner of the equipment and/or machinery.
Outside personnel (contractors, etc.)
The owner and any third party contractor engaged to perform installation, maintenance or operation of the equipment and/or machinery must advise
each other of their respective minimum Lockout/Tagout procedures. Each party must ensure that his or her personnel must understand and comply with
all restrictions and / or prohibitions of the other party’s minimum energy control procedures.
Administrative Duties
The authorized supervisors are responsible for the daily follow-through of the required minimum procedures for each applicable piece of equipment
and/or machinery. Violation of the required minimum procedures set by the owner must be addressed appropriately by the owner and/or authorized
supervisor. The owner of the applicable equipment and/or machinery must review and update the required minimum procedures as necessary.

IMPORTANT! OSHA Bin Sweep Regulations Update (printed in F issue, February 2012)
Many Grain industry safety regulations have changed since 2008, resulting in a higher focus on education and
training events by a number of Grain related groups and regulatory agencies.
Based on recent incidents of falls and engulfments that have resulted in fatalities, as of 12/09
OSHA is prohibiting personnel to be inside a Grain Bin at all when an “unguarded” Sweep is in
operation. This leaves facilities challenged on the safest way to remove the Grain if there is a mechanical prob-
lem with the Sweep, since neither “unguarded” nor “guarded” have been defined. Auger flighting must remain
exposed, or “unguarded,” in OSHA terms, to gather the free-flowing Grain and do its job. There has been
increased enforcement of Grain industry standards without any alternative means of Grain removal suggested or
endorsed.
Therefore this necessitates a Bin Entry Permit and LOTO of the equipment, meaning there is no acceptable way to
observe the Sweep in movement at close range inside the bin to determine what the running problem might be.
The dilemma posed at this time is how to remain in compliance when the ambiguity of “unguarded” (or inversely,
“guarded”) leaves no leeway outside a complete shutdown and has not yet been explained or interpreted.
OSHA requires the employer to train employees in operating the Sweep safely. Develop and maintain a training pro-
cedure where you can document and store information on this training and who has had it. Keep all unqualified people
out of the Sweep area at all times. A person who cannot or has not read the Sweep Manual IS NOT QUALIFIED to
operate the Sweep.
