Program Overview
Crushers are among the most dangerous machines in mining, quarrying, construction aggregates, and recycling operations. Jaw crushers, cone crushers, impact crushers, gyratory crushers, and roll crushers reduce massive rock and material volumes under enormous mechanical force — and they present severe hazards including entanglement, crush injuries, blockage clearing incidents, dust exposure, and noise. ICLM's Safe Working on Crushers Training provides workers, operators, and supervisors with the knowledge and procedures to manage crusher hazards and operate these machines without injury.
Crushers have killed and maimed workers in the most preventable of circumstances — workers reaching into crusher chambers to clear blockages without isolating the machine, maintenance technicians working inside crusher housings without LOTO, and operators struck by ejected material. These incidents follow predictable patterns and are preventable with proper training, procedures, and disciplined application of energy isolation principles.
