Crushing and Screening Plant Operations and Guarding Safety

Targets the high risk crushing and screening circuits found at African mines and quarries, where entanglement, engulfment and stored energy cause serious injuries. Participants learn safe operation, blockage clearing, guarding and isolation of jaw, cone, impact and screening equipment. The programme emphasises the practical routines that prevent people from being drawn into or struck by moving plant.
