2–3 Minute Talk Script
Safe use of industrial mixers is important for manufacturing, food production, and chemical facilities. Mixers contain powerful rotating blades that demand caution.
Workers must never reach inside while the mixer is powered or capable of starting.
Different batch materials have different viscosities—thicker mixes require slower loading.
Knowing the location of emergency stop switches ensures quick response in emergencies.
Safety Reminders
- Never bypass guards.
- Load materials slowly.
- Confirm mixer is locked out before reaching inside.
- Know emergency stop locations.
Ask the Crew
- Is today’s batch thick enough to require slower loading?
- Do all operators know where the E-stop is?
