The Screencore Trident 124 and similar models Track-Mounted Mobile Scalper Screening Plant<\/strong> is a high-production mobile screening unit used in quarrying, recycling, demolition, and bulk material processing applications. Designed for mobility and throughput, it incorporates conveyors, vibrating screen decks, hydraulic systems, diesel power, and tracked undercarriage movement.<\/p>\n While highly efficient in processing materials such as soil, sand, gravel, overburden, and demolition waste, the operation of this plant introduces a range of serious safety and environmental hazards<\/strong> that must be assessed and controlled before and during use.<\/p>\n This PERA identifies the key risks associated with operation, maintenance, transport, and site setup of the Track-Mounted Mobile Scalper Screening Plant<\/strong> and outlines practical control measures aligned with the hierarchy of control and OSH requirements.<\/p>\n This Plant & Equipment Risk Assessment addresses the following hazards associated with the Screencore Trident 124:<\/p>\n The screening plant contains multiple high-energy systems including conveyors, vibrating screens, hydraulic folding components, and tracked propulsion systems. These create significant risks during operation, setup, and maintenance.<\/p>\n The Trident 124 contains multiple moving systems including conveyors, vibrating screen decks, hydraulic folding components and tracked propulsion. These create significant risks of entanglement, crushing, shearing and impact injuries.<\/p>\n Key controls include:<\/strong><\/p>\n Material is continuously fed and separated through the screening process, creating the potential for high-velocity ejection of rock, debris and oversize material.<\/p>\n Key controls include:<\/strong><\/p>\n Electrical risks arise from temporary site power supplies, generator systems, damaged leads and plant-mounted electrical control systems.<\/p>\n Key controls include:<\/strong><\/p>\n Fire risks exist due to diesel fuel, hydraulic oil, hot engine components, electrical faults and combustible dust accumulation.<\/p>\n Key controls include:<\/strong><\/p>\n The screening of dry or demolition materials can generate airborne dust, including respirable crystalline silica. Diesel exhaust emissions are also present during operation.<\/p>\n Key controls include:<\/strong><\/p>\n Normal operation produces continuous high noise levels from engine operation, vibration of the screen deck, and material impact.<\/p>\n Key controls include:<\/strong><\/p>\n Uneven terrain, spilled material, hoses, and working platforms present ongoing slip and trip risks.<\/p>\n Key controls include:<\/strong><\/p>\n Risk from fuel, hydraulic oil, and lubricants leaking into ground.<\/p>\n Controls:<\/strong><\/p>\n Stockpiles and sediment runoff may block creeks or drainage systems.<\/p>\n Controls:<\/strong><\/p>\n Plant movement and setup can result in vegetation removal and habitat disturbance.<\/p>\n Controls:<\/strong><\/p>\n Ground disturbance may impact unknown or protected cultural heritage sites.<\/p>\n Controls:<\/strong><\/p>\n The Screencore Trident 124 Track-Mounted Mobile Scalper Screening Plant is a high-risk item of mobile plant due to:<\/p>\n Effective risk control relies on a combination of:<\/p>\n This PERA should be reviewed prior to deployment, when site conditions change, or when modifications to the plant or work method occur.<\/p>\n This mobile scalping screen PERA provides:<\/p>\n \u2714 Fully structured hazard-by-hazard risk analysis This document is designed to integrate seamlessly with:<\/p>\n Track-Mounted Mobile Scalper Screening Plant PERA<\/strong> is a comprehensive Plant and Equipment Risk Assessment covering the operation, maintenance, transport, and setup of mobile screening equipment. It identifies key hazards including entanglement, crushing, struck-by material, electrical shock, dust exposure (including silica), noise, fire, and environmental risks such as soil contamination and waterway blockage. The PERA provides practical control measures aligned with OSH requirements and the hierarchy of control to support safe operation in quarrying, demolition, and recycling environments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":12316,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[43],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-12314","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-plant-and-equipment-risk-assessment","8":"first","9":"instock","10":"downloadable","11":"virtual","12":"taxable","13":"purchasable","14":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\tKey Hazard Categories Covered in this PERA<\/h2>\n
