Steps involved in safe procurement of Bulk Material Handling
Bulk Material Handling equipment includes all the machinery and different equipments used in the course of processing a product right from its storage, control and preservation to transportation of the goods, supplies and products to their respective location and their further distribution & utilisation. The whole idea of using Bulk Material Handling equipments is to lessen the burden on humans and avoid any danger involved in man handling the materials. Among the many options available for handling goods, the conveyor is the most important and vital aspect of product transportation.
 A good factory transportation system involves the movement of your goods on a flat belt with folded side walls is available. The belt is twirled by a rotating drum placed either at the beginning or at the end of the belt. These wheels guide the strip in its conveying functions. In order to support the belt, it is linked to axles fixed at regular intervals. The ropes are elevated off the ground to the desired height for easy transportation of goods.They require minimal structure construction and maintenance. Such types of innovative and efficient techniques has made life easier for industrialists having their operations in sub-urban areas.
 Another important and high performance bulk handling system is rail type transportation, similar to a rail conveyor. It consists of a thick flat belt that swivels with the help of a drum or wheel attached to either end of the belt. The sides of the belt may or may not have folded side walls. The wheels rotate on axles, which are fixed at regular intervals to support belt’s functioning. Such kind of versatile system makes the journey of goods from warehouse to production a hassle free and efficient job.
 However, handling of bulk material through machines also involves danger to a certain extent but it can be shunned by following certain safety steps by workers.
·       Workers should be properly trained before carrying on with their job
·       They should have adequate tools and safety equipments while they are accomplishing their work
·       They should understand the severity or intensity in terms of material being hazardous or not
·       As most of the accidents occurs due to negligence on the employee side, they should be properly trained and maintain a high level of alertness on their job.
