Anchor Equipment Properly
To control the vibrations created by heavy equipment, many businesses install such equipment on spring-loaded platforms or mounts, known as vibration isolators. Isolators are designed to absorb the vibrations created by the normal operation of the equipment, but not the excessive movement that can occur during an earthquake. Earthquake forces, coupled with the weight of the equipment, can stretch the isolator springs beyond their ability to rebound. As a result, the isolators can fail, equipment can be overturned, utility line connections can be broken, and workers may be injured.
