Posted By Renny Thomson I hate to state the obvious, but the Supplier of the Machinery is duty bound to provide information on the operation of the equipment and also the CE conformity. I'd start by asking them

Posted By Frank Hallett Hi Tim I'm sorry - but but your question appears to demonstrate that you have insufficient competence both corporately and [regretably - personally] to safely operate this extremly dangerous equipment without suitable professional advice. My advice would be to gain the services of a suitable competent H&S professional such as can be found on the IOSH Consultants Register. Frank Hallett CFIOSH

Posted By peter gotch Hi Tim, I can't identify your competence or otherwise from your posting! So not sure whether you need the services of an IOSH Registered Consultant, but here's some input from one. Assuming you are referring to a self-contained concrete crusher [possibly with screening plant] rather than crusher attachment to an excavator, then...... Issues include effective guarding [and subsequent maintenance]for the various munching machinery and associated drives + noise, vibration and dust exposure. Often a source of substantial neighbourhood complaints, but reduces lorry movements, and associated road traffic and noise etc risks. Regards, Peter

Posted By Tim Thanks to all those who made constructive comments, I had a good idea where to go with this one, its just useful to have it confirmed by others. Regards
