ISC Safety Lore 22 – Importance of guarding rotating equipment

Published on 10/06/24 761 Views

Rotating equipment comprises machinery with components designed to rotate around an axis (e.g. pumps, compressors, turbines and motors). This is essential in industries like oil and gas, power generation and manufacturing. Maintenance and safety measures are crucial to ensure their efficient operation and reliability across diverse industrial applications and guarding the rotating axis is key to protecting people.

Ask yourself and your crew:

  • How can something like this happen here (e.g. on our site)?
  • What safety measures (i.e. procedures, controls/barriers) do we have in place to mitigate the risk?
  • How do we know the risk controls/barriers are working?
  • What improvements or changes should we make to the procedures, controls/barriers, or the way we work?
