How the work is done in paper and wood

Large continuous-process machines with rolls, steam and a lot of inertia: what turns keeps turning for minutes after the stop. Lockout waits for the inertia to die.

The jobs that set the pace

  • Clothing and forming fabric change
  • Roll and cylinder cleaning
  • Pulp and chemical recovery
  • Converting line maintenance
  • Chipping and timber handling

The sections it comes with as standard

  • Paper machine · wet section
  • Drying section
  • Winder
  • Cutting line
  • Wood chip silos
  • Dust extraction
  • Biomass boiler
  • Reel warehouse

Lockout/tagout, with isolation point and verification

The dashboard does not ask “what energies does your equipment have?”: in the paper and wood profile they are already there, each one with where it is isolated and how you check that it is isolated. It is what an inspection asks to see in writing.

The high-risk procedures, written down

Five procedures specific to paper and wood, written in the vocabulary of the sector and available inside the dashboard so you can adapt them to your plant.

Lockout with residual inertia

Rolls and flywheels keep turning after the stop: you wait, you brake and you check it is stopped before locking out.

Work on the wet end

Steam and condensate: bleed, cool down and check the temperature before opening.

Confined spaces in the pulper and chests

Agitators locked out and atmosphere measured: the pulper is an industrial mixer.

Hot work near paper

Dust and the reel catch with a single spark: permit, screening and a fire watch afterwards.

Entrapment in converting

Rewinders and slitters: interlocks verified and never thread the web while running without a tool.

Equipment and reference regulations

Equipment typical of this profile

  • Paper machine
  • Winder
  • Slitter
  • Roll press
  • Extraction fan
  • Biomass boiler
  • Wood chipper
  • Reel overhead crane

Regulations that frame the work

  • RD 681/2003 · explosive dust atmospheres
  • RD 809/2021 · pressure equipment
  • RD 1215/1997 · work equipment
  • RD 286/2006 · noise
  • UNE-EN 60079-10-2 · classification of dust zones

Current references the dashboard uses to organise the documentation. IndustriaKit is a documentation tool: it does not replace the risk assessment or legal advice.

Documentation specific to the sector
  • Dust explosion protection document
  • Dust accumulation cleaning plan
  • Pressure equipment certificate

What the dashboard does with all this

Contractors and coordination of activities

Contractors working on site join free, upload their documentation and the traffic light decides who can work. RD 171/2004 coordination with minutes and signature.

Permits with QR codes

Work permit with a printable notice: in the field it is scanned and signed from a phone. LOTO warning when the job calls for it.

Maintenance and OEE

Queue prioritised by criticality, statutory maintenance schedules with their date, counters based on real usage and an OEE panel per line with a Pareto of stoppages.

Personnel and training

Fitness for work, training and health surveillance by job role, with the medical data kept outside the dashboard by design.

Open it with the paper and wood profile and compare it with your folder

The demo opens with no card and no sales call. You choose this same sector and walk into a plant that looks like yours, with sample data you can play with without breaking anything.
