Machinery Rescue Potential

• Where in your community or mutual aid response area

• What are your rescue capabilities– Heavy lifting– Cutting operations– Disassembly– Stabilization– Securing energized equipment

For Equipment and Components that may weigh several thousand

pounds to several tons!!


Types of Incidents

• Arm in dough press• Arm in printing press• Child stuck in a safe• Finger stuck in fuel fill port• Child’s leg in bicycle spokes


Tools Needed

• Battery Operated Tools– Reciprocating

– Impacts

– Drill

– Circular saw (metal cutting)

• Wood & Steel Wedges

• Lock-out / Tag-out Equip.

• Saw

• Chains

• Soap Solution • Pry bars• Hydraulic tools

– Spreader– Rams– Cutters

• Air tools– Bags– Chisel– Ratchet / socket

• Assorted Hand Tools– screw drivers, wrenches,

pliers, hammers



Pre-Incident Planning

• Due to the variety of equipment, specific rescue techniques will vary

• Pre-planning is key to success• Differs from procedural approach as in

vehicle extrication

• Plan should consider:• Maintenance personnel• Location of Operating Instructions and

manuals


Pre-incident plan

• Plan should consider:– Number, types, locations of

machinery at specific location– Types of power sources and their

cutoffs– Hazard potential of materials or

chemical used


Pre-incident plan

•Plan should consider:•Maintenance personnel on-site•Locations of diagrams or drawings•Equipment on hand that can be used

•Manufacturer contact information


Industrial Extrication

• Scene survey– First step in any extrication– Use same concept as auto

extrication– Rescue officer and one rescuer

should proceed to the scene while rest of team waits for further instructions



• Scene survey– Rescue officer evaluates:

•Condition of victim (ABCs)•Degree of entrapment•Number of rescuers required•Type of equipment needed•Any special personnel or equipment needed



• Scene survey– Rescue officer evaluates:

•Any expert assistance required•Any other hazards present•Level of fire present•Assume all electrical situations are energized

•Cordon off the incident site



• Seek expert assistance– Equipment may be beyond

expertise of rescue personnel– Experts may include:

•Equipment operators•Maintenance personnel•Equipment manufacturer



• Neutralize power sources– Shut down power when working

around machinery– Ask if machine is full cycle/press type

that must complete its full range of motion before it can be stopped

– Primary power source is normally electrical



• Neutralize power sources– Identify other power sources used

by the machinery•Hydraulic (fluids under pressure)•Pneumatic (compressed air)•Stored energy in springs•Potential energy from suspended parts



• Neutralize power sources– If safe to isolate power, lockout/tagout

IAW 29 CFR 1910.147 and local SOPs•Station a rescuer at power source

with a radio•Isolate any other power sources•Prevent any source of movement•Block parts



• Stabilize Machinery– The majority is accomplished

during neutralization– Further stabilization may be

needed– Cribbing used for automobiles may

not be sufficient



• Stabilize Machinery– Survey again

•After power neutralization and stabilization, victim may be able to be freed

•Repeating these steps may point out more problems than first realized



• Extricate the victim– Extrication begins only after zero

mechanical state achieved– 4 critical factors to consider

•Time•Victim•Rescuer•Machine



• Extricate the victim– Zero mechanical state means there

is no way the machine can operate without the systems being restored


Extricating the Victim

• Industrial extrications fall into 3 categories:– Manipulative– Disassembly– Force the machine



•Manipulative•Simplest and quickest•Where victim is manipulated•Where machine is manipulated

•Limited to degree of entrapment



•Disassembly–Most common approach–May require special tools



•Force the machine–Least desirable–Ensure you have appropriate tools for the job


Industrial extrication

• Equipment retrieval– Rescuer safety is of primary

importance– If equipment cannot be moved

without endangering rescuers, leave it in place

– Inspect equipment for damage and service as required



• Securing and restoring the scene– Local protocol dictates who is to

restore an emergency scene– When all hazards are eliminated,

lockout/tagout devices can be removed at the discretion of the IC or plant manager



• Securing and restoring the scene– If any hazards still exist

•Inform owner/manager•Review actions taken by rescuers•Review suggestions to prevent future incidents

•Have owner/manager sign written release

In Plant Facilities

• Always check with on site maintenance personnel , they know the LOTO points and hazards of the equipment

• For LOTO consider a computer terminal in todays automated world to shut down machinery production lines.

• Electric fans and or smoke ejectors may be used to reduce the temperature in the machinery area.




Walmart

• When shutting down the power in a Walmart you must contact the corporate office.

• They have an overide to all stores at corporate.

• If you shut the power down locally it can be brought back on remotely without your knowledge!


Safety

• Slick oily surfaces are common in most plants-consider using some oil dry to reduce personnel and air bags from slipping.

• Consider the use of overhead cranes for use and as anchor points.

• Confined spaces may require monitoring and ventilation.


Safety

• Other machines in operation may have to be shut down due to vibration, noise or rescuer safety.

• Have a plan to guide incoming resources and EMS, sometimes there is a closer entrance than the one you were directed to.

• When working with heated objects-remember latex EMS gloves can deteriorate due to heat.
