Rubber and plastics: heat, fumes and a hall full of combustible material

Processing rubber and plastics keeps hot tooling, fumes from the melt and a granulate store that burns fast and burns a lot — all in one hall. None of the three is a problem on its own; the problem starts when they are kept apart. Kraang keeps them in one place, with deadlines that surface before they run out.

What makes this industry different

Four things that cannot wait in processing

The fire load is permanent, not occasional

Granulate, finished goods and packaging sit in the hall every day. Extinguishers, hydrants and escape routes are therefore checked to a plan, not ahead of an inspection.

Fumes are not always noticeable

What comes off the hot melt is proven through workplace environment testing and extraction that actually works — not by the impression that “it does not smell today”.

Hot tooling and machines that close on their own

Injection and pressing require working guards, a competent operator and an inspection that stays with that machine.

Material either returns to the process or leaves as waste

Scrap, regrind and packaging carry their own records, handover to an operator and annual reporting.

Obligations and where they sit

What a processing plant keeps, and in which module

None of this is news to anyone running a plant. The difference is that on Kraang every item carries an owner, a deadline and its evidence.

Fire protection

Extinguishers, hydrants and inspections, with self-raising deadlines and the report attached to the building.

Occupational health & safety

Work equipment: injection, pressing, extrusion

Periodic inspections and testing, with the finding attached to the machine itself.

Occupational health & safety

Workplace environment testing

Chemical hazards from fumes, microclimate near hot zones, noise and lighting.

Occupational health & safety

Ventilation and extraction

A maintenance plan and service history, on the same equipment that carries the inspections.

Maintenance and servicing

Hazardous substances: additives, colourants, release agents

Safety data sheets and proof the employee was briefed on that specific substance.

Occupational health & safety

Medical examinations

Tied to the workplace — heat, noise and chemical hazards each bring their own examinations.

Occupational health & safety

Training and machine competence

Who may operate which machine and until when their competence is valid.

Occupational health & safety

Personal protective equipment

Heat, hearing and respiratory protection — assignment, service life and a signed handover.

Stock and procurement

Waste and packaging

Scrap, regrind and packaging — records, handover to the operator and the annual report.

Environmental protection

Air emissions

Measurements at emission sources and renewal deadlines, with findings attached to the record.

Environmental protection

Contractors on site

Machine and tooling service, overhauls and waste collection — no valid papers, no entry.
