  • Personnel should maintain a safe distance during scooper operation
  • Convey product for bagging
  • Wash scooper with water after use to prevent contamination

Environmental Procedure

  • Report all spillages to the shift/team manager before cleaning
  • Determine spillage amount (25kg or 1 tonne bags)
  • Return damaged 25kg bags to the bagging station for rework
  • Clean spillage with a broom and place in a skip bin
  • Do not use RWB (rainwater/wastewater) to clean spillages into drains
  • Use water as a last resort after authorization

Environmental Procedure (cont.)

  • Take bins using a forklift to Washbay at ANPP3 plant and wash into RDP tanks (if applicable)
  • Report spillage quantity to supervision
  • Place damaged bags in a waste skip bin
  • Clean spillage into skip bin
  • Report spillages to shift manager immediately if equipment trips
  • Determine ways to recover product if possible
  • Wash remaining product if not recoverable, after informing the shift manager
  • If decomposing, it is disposed of in a bin for contaminated waste

Shut Down - Emergency Routine

  • Emergency: Identify the problem (e.g., choked chutes, build-up on pulleys), clear process faults
  • Emergency: Check for process conditions (e.g., hot motors, torn conveyors)
  • Emergency: If above problems exist, trip the system by pulling the trip wire
  • Emergency: Isolate at main switch and lock out; attach "Do not operate" boards
  • Maintenance: Prepare the system for maintenance using decontamination procedures
  • Maintenance: Prepare the selected system: empty the bagging hopper, switch off and lock out isolator, and put "Do not operate" boards
  • Shutdown: Visually inspect all equipment for fault rectifications
  • Shutdown: Remove locks and "Do not operate" boards from isolators
  • Shutdown: Switch all isolators to the "On" position

Shut Down - Emergency Routine (cont.)

  • Emergency Procedure: Start equipment correctly, check for smooth operation
