OBJECTIVE
Raise awareness among all participants of the present course about
the management, preparation, and installation of protection in the
machines and equipment that have moving parts, hot, cold,
cutting and gripping tools to prevent the occurrence of incidents
and accidents during the activities carried out in the Unit.
SCOPE
This procedure applies to all moving parts of
equipment that is exposed in the Mining Unit, that
correspond to fixed or portable equipment, belonging to
to the mining company and/or contractors and companies
Connected.
Machine protections
They are security devices used at points
of transmission, movement or rotation of the
machines as a whole or in any other
team, with the aim of protecting the
people against accidental contact with
parts in motion during their
functioning.
Note 1: The protection of the machine must not
to be considered as an accessory of the equipment,
but as a security device.
Note 2: All protections must be
fixed, preferably with bolts, and
inspect with a recommended frequency
Safety device
They are components that, by themselves,
interconnected or associated with protections,
they reduce the risks of accidents and other damages
to health and are classified as:
a) Electrical commands or safety interfaces
b) Locking devices
c) Security sensors
d) Valves and safety blocks or systems
tires and hydraulics of the same effectiveness
e) Mechanical devices
f) Validation devices
SPC (Collective Protection System)
They are devices, materials, and safety equipment whose purpose is protection.
simultaneously several workers exposed to a certain risk.
PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)
They are devices, materials, and personal clothing intended for each
worker to protect him from one or more risks present at work and
that may threaten your safety and health.
They are classified into:
Head protection
Visual protection
Facial protection
Respiratory Protection
Hearing protection
Hand protection
Foot and leg protection
Safe work clothing (jumpsuit)
Safety harness
Exposed and rolling points and contact points
They are rotating pieces that must not come into contact with other objects.

Note:
It is considered enclosed equipment when
this does not allow man's access to
exposed and rolling points of
entrapment.
Sensors or other devices must be installed.

the machine when it is in operation.

The machinery is located.
Rotating Equipment
They are equipment powered by a motor for a specific purpose (mills, fans, transmitters,
etc.)
Rotating
Pressing Equipment
They are machines that receive material to compact it through their mechanisms.
(gears, rollers, etc.).
Princes
Alternating Equipment
Alternative movement mechanism, whose repetitive movement in different directions that
allows the operation of equipment such as pumps, locomotives, feed hoppers, etc.
TYPES OF PROTECTION
Protection of rotating parts
The rotating parts must be protected to make contact with personnel as difficult as possible.
In all protection cases, openings or empty spaces should not allow contact.

Pulleys / Gears / Belts / Coupling
The sets must be completely protected, the inner and outer parts with a cover.

large dimensions must be divided into easily dismountable segments for
maintenance. The opening of the mesh (Y) and the distance between the protection and the part
protected (X) must be according to the table:
Distancia - X (mm) Opening Y of the mesh (mm)
X < 50 Y<4
50 is greater than or equal to X and X is less4than≥or Yequal≤to 100

closed and locked.
They must be bipartite or articulated and of
easy disassembly

maintenance.
Belt Conveyor
Driving wheels:They are usually already protected, in
cases should be immediately installed the
protection to the wheel. The actuation must follow the
procedure for pulleys and axles.
Movable wheels:The drum of the wheel must be
mandatory protected with a net.
Tensioner pulley for belt or strap:The counterweight of the wheel
the tensor must have lateral protection all around it
perimeter, from the floor to a height of 2.5m. The
counterweights of the tension wheels installed on large
heights must have protection from the project,
also guides that will withstand the course of the counterweight in
in case of a fall. The counterweight must be fully closed.
Axles (fixed cardan, telescope and others)
According to the size of the equipment, the types of protection
they will be:
a. For small-sized shafts/cardan joints, we must
make a semicircular cover, in plate or mesh
metallic with dimensions according to table I, with
brassieres.
b. For large movable axes, a must be made
isolation area, with metal mesh up to
20mm, and enclose it in such a way that it is
impossible for the team to have involuntary contact.
c. The removal of this isolation will only be carried out

(lubrication, repair or adjustments) only with authorization
of the area manager and should be reinstated to their
place mandatorily.
The removal of this isolation/protection will only be
made with de-energized, locked out equipment and
properly marked (labeled).
At the end of the maintenance, it is the obligation of everyone
the operations and maintenance collaborators
(supervisor, operators, mechanics, lubricators)
ensure the placement of all protections.
BAD PRACTICES
Factors to consider in security guards
It should always be considered:
Is the danger zone, located above, accessible from below?
Is the danger area accessible from above the guard?
Is the danger area accessible through one of the guard openings?
Is the danger zone accessible from underneath the guard?
PREVENTIVE MEASURES
Use personal protective equipment.
Take the necessary measures to avoid the
entanglement of hair, work clothes or others
objects that the worker could carry (bracelets,
watches, rings, etc.)
Only trained, qualified, and authorized personnel,
The specific internal training record will be able to
carry out the lifting and identification of the parts

Any broken or decommissioned machine must be
signaled,
PREVENTIVE MEASURES
Machines and equipment must have stopping devices
in emergencies, in places that are easily accessible and visible.
Sensors or other devices that prevent it must be installed.
unauthorized access to the machine while it is in operation.
Ensure training in machine instructions and
equipment to raise awareness about exposed and moving parts.
Removing the guard or protection must be done with authorization.

The assembly and disassembly operations must be carried out
with qualified personnel and proven experience.
Always maintain the order and cleanliness of the workplace.
MANAGEMENT OF CONSEQUENCES
Under no circumstances should situations that could jeopardize be allowed.

organization.
Examples of serious offenses:
Expose or expose people to
machines and equipment without the due
protections
Improvising unapproved protections.
Make a device inoperative
security protection.
Remove the protection and do not put it back on
proper form.
Bypass security systems.
RIGHT TO SAY NO
Remember, every worker has the right to refuse the activity if the
safety conditions put at risk your integrity and that of your
comrades.
Security is non-negotiable
