I remember back in the 80s when I caused a cement kiln to stop running "cos I hit the emergency stop button on a feed screw. That screw auger was 900mm wide and fed raw feed to the kiln feed system at up to about 400tph. A couple of sections of the top coverplate had been removed and someone was straddling the open screw, standing on the spouts feeding the screw from either side, and scraping a spillage pile into the screw. My answer, when the works director asked me why I had stopped the kiln, was "the kiln was stopped a lot shorter period than if he had fallen in" and I pointed out I did not stop the kiln, I just stopped the screw. I then justified myself by saying that if I had turned a blind eye and he had fallen in (no - not an accident), his death would have been part blamed on me, and - what would he (the boss) have done in those circumstances? Regards, RAB
