OUTFEED TRAINING

The post-operational checks ensure that the Outfeed section is safely shut down, cleaned, and prepared for the next shift. These checks minimize wear on equipment, prevent potential hazards, and ensure that all materials and tools are properly stored. The last operator on each shift is responsible for completing these checks and reporting any issues that need attention before the start of the next shift.

This module provides a detailed guide for completing the post-operational checks in the Outfeed section, including cleaning, equipment maintenance, and proper shutdown procedures.

At the end of each shift, the operator must perform the following checks to ensure the Outfeed section is safely and properly shut down. If any issues arise during the checks, the operator must note them in the comments section and report them for follow-up action.
