OVERVIEW

AAM Timber is a softwood mill specialising in green sawn products, dimensionally cut for use in pallets, packaging, fencing, and landscaping.

OBJECTIVE

At its Compton processing facility, AAM Timber faced several safety risks related to access around the twin edger, transfer conveyors, and multi-saw infeed.

After assessing the site and consulting with maintenance personnel, Hart (formerly Correct Safety) designed a tailored access solution to eliminate fall hazards and reduce the risk of potentially hazardous contact with machinery.

With limited space in the areas requiring intervention, the system was planned in aluminium so it could be installed without cranage or removing roof sheeting.

OUTCOME

As planned, we installed the system without crane lifts or removing roof sheeting.

The system provides safe access over milling machinery and includes:

  • A custom access landing to abut existing platform and enable access to twin edger / transfer conveyors and multi-saw in feed.
  • Custom stairway with raised access landing and perimeter guardrail
  • Vertical cage ladder for chipper room access
  • Step ladders and access ladders
  • Guardrail system
