  1. Safety Protocols for Pipe Coating Machine Operators Imagine you are working in a pipeline trench, and suddenly, the soil comes rushing, and you are stuck under a pile of soil! Sounds scary, right? Unfortunately, more than 40 people die every year in these types of incidents. Source: National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Whether you’re in a trench to set a pipe or applying tapes or liquid with the help of a pipe coating machine, worker safety must always be prioritized. So, to keep yourself safe during the trench operations, there are certain things that you need to remember: •The trench should be fortified appropriately to prevent collapse in pipeline construction. •Know the products and the hazards associated with the product’s application. •Familiarize yourself with the work area and know the risks of taking proper steps to protect yourself.

  2. Important Terms to Protect Yourself Safety Data Sheet (SDS) Safety Data Sheets (SDS) are documents provided by manufacturers about their products. These documents act as a user manual that includes all information, from physical properties to chemical properties, safety instructions, and more. An SDS usually contains: •Product identification, •hazard(s) identification, •First-aid measures, •Firefighting measures, •Handling & storage, •Physical and chemical properties, •Ecological information, and more. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) You might already know about PPE. PPE is safety gear worn to minimize exposure to hazards that cause serious job site injuries and illness, including those resulting from contact with chemicals or physical, electrical, mechanical, or other workplace dangers. Trench Excavation As per the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) rule, all four feet or more profound trenches should have ladders, steps, ramps, or other safe means for the workers to access. Shoring Shoring is the process of temporarily supporting the structure of the building, vessel, or trench with shores (props) to prevent them from collapsing during repairs or alterations. Safety Tips for Working While Applying Corrosion Protection Coatings •Always wear proper personal protective equipment (PPE). •Always follow the safety instructions properly. •Always follow the posted procedures and avoid unsafe conditions. •If any dangerous situation arrives, report them to designated personnel.

  3. Ultimately, to keep your life safe and sound, just follow the instructions given by pipe coating machine manufacturers like Aaspee Machinery. Source URL: https://46923572.hs-sites.com/blog/safety-protocols-for-pipe-coating-machine-operators
