This section includes information on safety devices and procedures
that are inherent to the Powder Hopper Loading system. This
manual is not intended to supersede or alter safety standards
established by the user of this equipment. Instead, the material
contained in this section is recommended to supplement these
procedures in order to provide a safer working environment.
At the completion of this section, the operator and maintenance
personnel will be able to:
• Identify and locate specific safety devices.
• Understand the proper use of the safety devices provided.

2-8-2 Safety Circuit Standards
Safety circuits used in industrial systems protect the operator and
maintenance personnel from dangerous energy. They also provide
a means of locking out or isolating the energy for servicing
equipment.
Various agencies have contributed to the establishment of safety
standards that apply to the design and the manufacture of
automated equipment. The Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) and the Joint Industrial Council (JIC) are
just a few of the organizations that have joined with the plastics
industry to develop safety standards.
