OUTDOOR PLANT

SAFETY RULES
 Guarding plant: A guard is a physical or other barrier
which prevents contact with moving parts or controls
access to dangerous areas of plant. Guarding is
installed to prevent workers getting clothing or body
parts caught by a piece of plant, or to prevent work
pieces being expelled from the plant and striking
people.
 Operator controls: Well designed and set out
operator controls will minimize the risk of error and
injury. Controls must be easily accessible for
operation, and identified as to their function, be
prevented from unintentional activation, and be able
to be locked in the “off” position
 Emergency stops: Must be of the “stop and
lock-off” type if the plant is to be operated or
attended by more than one person.

 Warning devices: Used where there is a

likelihood of moving plant colliding with other
plant or workers in the vicinity of plant.
 Isolation procedures: A set of predetermined steps
that should be followed where workers are required
to perform tasks such as maintenance, repair,
installation, service and cleaning of plant.
