USAGE INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
THE SAFETY MONITOR
Designate a Safety Monitor. The Monitor will keep an eye on all aspects of chute usage.
The Safety Monitor will ensure:
• The chute was installed and is used according to the instructions provided by Superchute ® Ltd.
• The chute is tied properly to the container with Container Cord.
• The chute is untied from the container before the container is moved or changed.
• The container contents are kept wet to reduce airborne dust and the risk of a fire.
• The container is not overfilled.
• Any spaces between the chute openings and the building edge are covered over.
• Debris is seen to fall clear of the chute’s discharge end.
• Warning gates are used at the correct times.
• All components of the chute are kept in good working condition as the job progresses.
• A means of communication with other job site workers exists.
• Empty debris containers are readily available.
• All work is conducted in a safe and responsible manner.
• Fall protection safeguards are used.
• Chute blockages are the most frequent problem encountered by chute users.
• If a chute blockage is not noticed and more debris is introduced, the total weight
of the chute will rapidly increase, and the chute system could collapse. A
collapsing chute system can cause serious injury and death.
• The Safety Monitor will takes steps to prevent blockages from occurring (as
explained in this manual), and will keep a constant lookout for chute blockages.
