operators to cut more efficiently and cleaner without leads hanging over the rails, damaging wires or causing tangles, pulls, snags and trip hazards.
To reduce operator fatigue and support productivity, try a platform floor mat. This mat provides padded flooring on the metal platform. Installation does not require modification to the existing platform floor. Mats are weather-resistant, holding up to tough environmental conditions. However, they should not be used for hot work like welding or burning.
Keep Workers Comfortable and Prepared
Steel erection projects must go on, including work during night hours or inclement weather. Dark and frigid conditions can be a serious safety hazard.
Workers can better handle Mother Nature’ s challenges with lighting and cold-weather packages. For instance, additional lighting options should be well-suited for environments with low lighting conditions, including mines, tunnels and night-time applications. These include multiple light bulbs( four, 40 watt bulbs are recommended) to illuminate the worksite and lights for the area around the chassis.
Cold-weather kits should include a battery blanket, hydraulic tank heater, block heater and glow plugs( diesel only). A choice of minus 30 degrees or minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit hydraulic oil is often available and sold separately.
Accessorized to Get the Job Done
For those working in the steel industry, focusing on safety initiatives is about a lot more than checking a box. It’ s an active pursuit to ensure everyone remains vigilant and mindful of potential risks.
For steel and iron workers, choosing the right access equipment for steel erection work is just the start. Add-ons and accessories can help increase worker productivity, provide specialized support, enhance access, reduce fatigue and keep people and equipment where needed.
