Daily operating practices: basic requirements to ensure safety and quality

Daily operating practices: basic requirements to ensure safety and quality

Whether operating a brick making machine, water pump or drilling machine, a set of clear and strict daily operating specifications is the cornerstone of ensuring personnel safety and product quality. These basic requirements should become the code of conduct engraved in the heart of every operator.

1. Safety operating regulations: the “red line” that cannot be crossed

Safety always comes first, and any production activity must be based on safety.

Personal protection must be in place: before working, you must correctly wear a safety helmet, protective glasses, dust mask, strong work gloves and anti-smash safety shoes. Long hair should be tied into a hat, and loose clothing is strictly prohibited.

Equipment inspection first: Before starting the machine every day, you must check whether the key fasteners of the equipment are loose, whether the safety shield is intact, whether the lubrication is in place, and whether the electrical circuits are damaged. It is strictly prohibited to operate the equipment while it is sick.

Strictly observe the restricted area of work: When the equipment is running, it is strictly prohibited to extend any part of the body or tools into dangerous areas such as molds, pressure heads, rotating transmission parts, etc. All adjustments, cleaning, and maintenance must be carried out after the machine is completely shut down and the power source is cut off (power off, pressure relief).

Status and discipline requirements: It is strictly prohibited to operate equipment when tired, drunk or unable to concentrate. Unauthorized operation by non-designated operators is strictly prohibited.

2. Quality assurance specifications: the “criteria” for stable output

Standardized operations are the prerequisite for ensuring product quality consistency.

Strictly abide by the process: The operation must be carried out in accordance with the established raw material ratio, water addition amount, mixing time, molding pressure/time and other process parameters, and must not be changed at will. This is the basis for ensuring the strength of bricks, the efficiency of water pumps or the depth of drilling.

Prepare for production: Before work, ensure that the raw materials are qualified and sufficient, the mold is clean and installed correctly, and the equipment parameters are set accurately.

Process attention and self-inspection: During operation, pay attention to the operating status of the equipment (sound, vibration), and conduct simple self-inspections regularly. For example, when making bricks, spot check the appearance and weight of the bricks; when pumping water, observe the water volume and pressure. If an exception is found, handle it immediately according to the process.

Keep work consistent and tidy: Keep the work area tidy and place materials and tools at designated locations. Standardized operating rhythm helps stabilize quality and avoid mistakes during work.

3. Equipment maintenance specifications: long-term and reliable “investment”

Correct operation itself includes care for the equipment.

Smooth operation: startup, operation, and shutdown should be smooth, and rough operations such as sudden acceleration and deceleration, jerking the operating lever, etc. should be avoided to reduce the impact on the equipment.

Overloading is strictly prohibited: the equipment must not be allowed to work beyond its design capacity (such as overpressure, overspeed, overfilling).

After-shift maintenance: After the daily work is completed, cleaning, sorting, simple inspection and other prescribed actions must be performed. In particular, remove residual materials from key parts of the equipment (such as molds and pump bodies) to prepare for production the next day.

4. Recording and communication standards: the “basis” for continuous improvement

Good habits help trace problems and optimize processes.

Make good handovers and records: Carefully fill in production records and equipment inspection forms, record the output on duty, abnormal situations and handling measures. Carry out work handovers to ensure continuity of information.

Timely communication and reporting: If any safety hazards, equipment failures or quality fluctuations are found, they must be reported immediately to the person in charge instead of concealing them or taking risks on their own.

In summary, the core of daily operating standards can be summarized as follows: In terms of safety, complete protection, inspections in place, and strictly observing restricted areas; in terms of quality, abide by the process, pay attention to the process, and keep clean; in terms of equipment, operate smoothly, prohibit overloading, and maintain after-shift maintenance; in terms of records, communicate promptly, accurately, and effectively.

By internalizing these requirements into the instinct of your daily work, you can not only protect yourself and your colleagues, but also ensure the production of stable and reliable products, and keep the equipment running healthily for a long time. Standards are the common cornerstone of efficiency, quality and safety.
