Who is ArcelorMittal?
ArcelorMittal is the world’s leading
steel and mining company with presence in 60 countries and has an
industrial footprint in 19 countries. They are guided by a
philosophy to produce safe and sustainable steel. They also pride
themselves in providing a conducive and safe work environment for
its employees. To further their commitment to the safety of their
employees, ArcelorMittal is proud to be the sponsor of a Safety
System Design at Michigan State University.
At ArcelorMittal, Electric Overhead Cranes (EOT) are used for transporting heavy products, parts, and materials. They are operated remotely by a Remote Control Crane Operator (RCCO). Crane operators and other employees that come in near proximity of the cranes are exposed to safety hazards that could lead to serious injuries or loss of life throughout the course of the work day. Due to this problem, safety measures have to be put in place to reduce such accident risks to the most minimum level. When a crane is in use, there is a minimum safe distance that must be observed to avoid pinch points and loads of steel as it moves. Areas of space too close to the cranes are considered danger zones, which increase whenever the crane moves vertically.
