SUBJECT DISCUSSED:
1. Housekeeping Schedule
- Presently accomplished on a regular basis, whenever a worker is idle.
- Recommendation:
Establish a regular housekeeping schedule.
2. Spills
- It is noticed that on many occasions, whenever spills occur (bag damages, overflow process, etc.), no one removes it. It is left there for days.
- Recommendation:
Instruction be given to workers and supervisors to clean-up the spills immediately and patch the bags if necessary.
3. Feed Conveyor Mixer
- This conveyor is not enclosed and is situated in a drafty area. This causes dust to be dissipated over large areas.
- Recommendation:
€ Investigate enclosure of conveyor.
€ Investigate minimizing / optimizing draft in the area.
4. Mixer
- The chute entering the mixer does not fit properly, causing leakage (dust emission).
- Recommendation:
€ Temporary measure would be to tape the opening.
€ Have maintenance modify the chute.
5. Sweeping
- All sweeping is done by brooms without use of water and is an important source of dust in the plant.
- Recommendation:
€ Investigate installation of a central vacuum system.
€ Purchase portable vacuum.
€ In the interim, use a wetting or dust suppressor agent.
NEXT MEETING TO BE HELD ON FEBRUARY 8, 1993.
