Yankee Dryer Safety Training Series, 2003 Fall Technical Conference
Recent turnover in both the papermaking and maintenance departments plus a lack of Yankee dryer safety training
materials has prompted this tissue manufacturer to develop training programs geared for operators and maintenance
personnel. Using existing printed TAPPI operating guidelines1, TAPPI maintenance guidelines2, manufacturers’
guidelines, and existing mill standard operating procedures, new Power Point presentations have been, and will be,
developed. These presentations will be used in crew safety meetings, new hire orientation, maintenance crew
training, contractor safety awareness training, fire fighter awareness, and emergency responder training.
