Product Overview

This risk assessment covers screener crusher activities, including set-up, operation, maintenance, refuelling and shutdown. It supports planning the work and managing risks from plant movement, moving parts, dust, electrical systems and interactions within the work area.

Activities & Risks Covered

This assessment addresses activities and risks including:

Plan the work area, boundaries, ground conditions and site communication
Position plant, set up components and check guarding
Manage traffic and interactions between mobile plant, vehicles and pedestrians
Feed material and monitor crushing or screening operations
Clear blockages, clean equipment and carry out maintenance activities
Manage electrical systems, isolators and electrical fault risks
Control dust, silica and other airborne contaminants
Manage noise, vibration, fatigue and reduced awareness
Refuel and handle oils, fuels, grease, hydraulic fluids and batteries
Prepare for emergencies, shutdown and end-of-shift housekeeping

Who is this for?

Suitable for contractors, workers, supervisors and businesses carrying out screener crusher activities.

Activities & Hazards Covered

Activity	Potential Hazards
Pre-start planning and site set-up	Unclear work area boundaries leading to people entering plant operating zones Poor ground conditions causing plant instability or rollover Unauthorised or untrained workers involved in crusher or screener activities Inadequate communication between operators, loaders, spotters and ground workers Unidentified overhead or underground services in the work area
Plant positioning, set-up and guarding	Crush injuries during plant set-up, folding or unfolding components Contact with moving parts, belts, pulleys, rollers and nip points Failure or absence of guards allowing access to danger areas Falls while accessing decks, walkways or platforms during set-up Unexpected movement of plant during positioning
Traffic management and interaction with mobile plant	Collision between loader, excavator, haul trucks, light vehicles and pedestrians Workers struck by reversing or slewing plant Poor visibility from dust, blind spots or night work Congestion around feed hoppers, stockpiles and refuelling areas
Feeding and normal crushing or screening operations	Entanglement, crushing or drawing-in at hopper, belts, screens and rotating components Ejected rocks or material striking workers Plant overload, blockage or mechanical failure during feeding Workers entering unsafe areas to inspect product flow or remove obstructions Falling material from conveyors or stockpiles
Clearing blockages, cleaning and maintenance	Unexpected start-up or stored energy release during maintenance Crush injuries from moving jaws, belts, screens, hydraulics or gravity movement Contact with sharp edges, hot parts or pressurised systems Falls while accessing elevated maintenance points Use of inappropriate tools or unsafe shortcuts during fault finding
Electrical systems and isolation	Electric shock from damaged leads, panels or faulty plant Arc flash or burns during electrical fault finding Fire from electrical faults or poor connections Unauthorised access to switchboards or isolators Contact with overhead powerlines during plant movement or set-up
Dust, silica and airborne contaminants	Exposure to respirable dust and respirable crystalline silica from crushing and screening material Reduced visibility causing plant interaction or slip hazards Dust accumulation on walkways, platforms and equipment Inhalation of airborne contaminants during dry conditions, cleaning or maintenance
Noise, vibration and operator fatigue	Hearing damage from prolonged exposure to crusher, screener and mobile plant noise Reduced awareness of alarms, radios or verbal warnings due to noise Whole-body vibration and fatigue for plant operators Loss of concentration leading to operational error
Refuelling, oils and hazardous substances	Fire or explosion during refuelling Skin or eye contact with fuels, oils, grease or hydraulic fluids Spills causing slips, environmental contamination or ignition risk Exposure to battery hazards during servicing
Emergency response, shutdown and end-of-shift conditions	Delayed response to entanglement, injury, fire or plant failure Workers unable to access emergency stops or raise the alarm Uncontrolled plant left energised or in an unsafe condition after shutdown Poor housekeeping creating slip, trip or restart hazards for the next shift
