Risks and prevention — Industrial mechanic
Installing conveyors, pumps, and industrial equipment exposes workers to pinch points, crushing, and cuts from moving parts. The CSTC and RSST require lockout of all energy sources before maintenance or installation.
Aligning and lifting heavy parts requires rigging plans and close coordination with crane operators. Tight spaces around industrial equipment may constitute confined spaces requiring specific assessment.
