Mobile screener SWMS, drafted for your job
A mobile screener combines loader traffic with vibrating decks and moving conveyors; a blocked chute can tempt someone into equipment that still holds energy. Tell us the job and site conditions so your SWMS reflects the work; check the draft with the crew before starting.

Entanglement at screener belts and vibrating screen decks
High- Keep fixed guards fitted over belts, drives and screen access points
- Isolate and verify stopped movement before opening any guard
- 3
Stored material dropping while screener chutes are cleared
High- Stop feed and isolate the screener before clearing a blocked chute
- Use the designated clearing tools from outside the material fall path
- 4
Dust blowing from dry screening decks and stockpiles
Medium- Use material dampening and fitted suppression suitable for the screened product
- Position workers away from drifting dust and wear selected respiratory protection
- 5
Mobile screener settling beneath loaded vibrating decks
High- Place the screener on firm level ground with supports fully deployed
- Inspect support pads and ground movement during operation and after rain
