Hi All,
I work as a Safety Officer in an MNC company. We produce PP compounds. During production, a large quantity of lumps will be generated and will be very hot. Our production team removes them and keeps them in small volumes to make the scrap process easier.
Since it is very hot while removing and is kept near walking areas during line startup, I have observed it to be very dangerous. Also, during this process, they immerse the tools in water, which helps to move the lumps away. Consequently, water is spilled all over the shop floor in the working area. This may lead to accidents during the urgency of line startup.
If someone experienced in this could help me and provide guidance, it would be greatly appreciated.

Dear Anjana,
What is the size of the lumps? Can these be picked up by a shovel that has a wooden handle? Can the lumps be dropped in the trolley that is made of steel? Movement of lumps that have three or four wheels will simplify the job of removing the lumps.

Hello Sir,
I will try to see if this method works in our company. Previously, we used trays; however, the scrap people have requested smaller lump sizes for reprocessing, so they are now following this new approach.
If we discover an alternative method, I will update you. Your assistance has been greatly appreciated. Thank you.

From the information you have furnished, I feel the workers are working in an unsafe environment. The situation of hot scrap on the walkway is a 'Line of Fire'.
From my experience, I feel the hot PP compounds scrap should be removed from the outlet end directly and transported to the scrap yard by a bucket rope trolley immediately.
The workers should be provided with asbestos aprons, gloves, and heat-resistant gum boots for their personal safety.
