Equipment Safety:
MACHINE FIRES
|
Machine fires are a fairly common occurrence at waste facilities. This is not too surprising when we consider the machines used. They have huge combustion engines and contain a vast network of electrical wiring and flammable liquids, including fuel, hydraulic fluid, engine oil, gear oil and grease.
Additionally, these machines work continuously to move mountains of trash that are made up of mostly flammable material.
Landfill Safety Topic #49 & Transfer Station Safety Topic#30 looks at some common causes of machine fires and how to prevent them.
