Primary and secondary crusher, screen deck, and stockpile reclaim. RCS from feed material, conveyor entanglement, isolation/LOTO for blockage clearing, fall risk on elevated platforms.
SWMS variants reference your state’s WHS legislation. Instant download after payment.
Operation and maintenance of primary/secondary crushers, screen decks and stockpile reclaim conveyors. Tasks include blockage clearing, belt tracking and platform access. WHS Act 2011 s.19 PCBU duty applies, with HRCW triggers under WHS Reg 2011 r.291 requiring documented SWMS before work commences.

Control measures
Hierarchy-of-controls order: elimination → substitution → isolation → engineering → administrative → PPE.
- 1Full LOTO isolation per AS 4024.1603 before any blockage clearing or guard removal on crushers and conveyors.
- 2Wet suppression and P2/P3 RPE; air monitoring against WES 0.05 mg/m³ RCS per WHS Reg r.49.
- 3Fixed guardrails to AS 1657 on all platforms; harness with anchor points where edge protection unavailable.
