Lubrication Equipment Material Handling and Safety

Handling industry lubricants requires additional caution, as these are heavy-duty lubricants! Material handling with effective lubricating equipment can assist avoid deterioration, contamination, and expensive waste disposal.

You must make an investment in effective material handling equipment to promote and establish a safe workplace.

An important factor in lubricants storage involves understanding how to store various lubricant kinds, how much of each type of lubricant must be stored, and the dimensions of storage containers. The store should therefore have as much extra storage space as is practical to accommodate any future demands that may develop.

Oils must be kept in a dry, clean, sealed container where they can last for many years.

The rate of deterioration increases after the containers are opened, thus the size selected should be adequate for a supply of one to three months.

Possibility of Accidents and Hazards

• Mishaps when moving drums
• Spills of grease and oil
• Risks to the skin
• Incorrect tool use
• Fire risks
• Unintentional ingestion
• Breathing in toxic vapors, oily mists, etc.

Following are some safety recommendations for using industry lubricants:

1. Handling drums that weigh more than 204 kg is extremely dangerous. If dropped or spilled, it might start a fire. Therefore, it's crucial to have at least 2 individuals on hand to turn the drum.
2. Any injuries or dangers brought on by the injection of high pressure oil, grease, or solvent must be taken for medical attention right away.
3. Verify that the grease line is completely free of leaks. Resolve any leaks, and be sure to clean up any lubrication spills.
4. Before you open or distribute any solvents, ensure that all the containers are grounded. The lubricants should be kept in a well-ventilated environment.
5. Invest in some good quality lubrication equipment, material handling. Check out the best-in-class material handling products at grozusa.

Additional advice on storage, whether indoors or out:

1. For simpler inventory management, keep lubricants in only one indoor location (or just one indoor and one outdoor location, if some goods must be kept outside).
2. Make sure that all products are accessible: - The aisles must be large enough to accommodate forklifts and other machinery necessary to handle and transfer lubricant containers.
   - Containers should be stored, displayed, and protected using the proper shelves and racks.
3. To facilitate first-in, first-out rotation, which helps ensure efficient lubricant usage, arrange the storage area and its contents.
