2. Safety Safety Sign-Off Sheet As a requirement of O.S.H.A., it is necessary for the employer to train the employee in the safe operating and safety procedures for this auger. This sign-off sheet is provided for your convenience and personal record keeping. All unqualified persons are to stay out of the work area at all times. It is strongly recommended that another qualified person who knows the shut down procedure be in the area in the event of an emergency.
2. Safety Proper Storage Grain Bin/Silo Materials Prior to Construction Wet storage stain (rust) will develop when closely packed bundles of galvanized material, such as sidewall and roof sheets, have moisture present. Inspect roof and sidewall bundles on arrival for any moisture. If moisture is present, it must not be allowed to remain between the sheets. Separate the sheets or panels immediately and wipe them down. Spray with a light oil or diesel fuel.
3. Decals The manufacturer does not warrant any roof damage caused by excessive vacuum or internal pressure from fans or other air moving systems. Adequate ventilation and/or “makeup air” devices should be provided for all powered air handling systems. The manufacturer does not recommend the use of downward flow systems (suction). Severe roof damage can result from any blockage of air passages. Running fans during high humidity/cold weather conditions can cause air exhaust or intake ports to freeze.
3. Decals ATTENTION: The decal shown below should be present on the outside of the door cover of the 2 ring, 24" porthole door cover and the roof manway cover. If a decal has been damaged or is missing in any of these locations, contact the manufacturer for a free replacement decal. GSI Decals 1004 E. Illinois St. Assumption, IL. 62510 Phone: 1-217-226-4421 Rotating flighting will kill or dismember. Flowing material will trap and suffocate. Crusted material will collapse and suffocate.
