Particular hazards
● Live cable ends and components can cause injuries due to electrical current.
● Lines which are not laid properly (e.g. bending radius too small) can cause
scorching and electrical fires.
If the bending radius is too small, it should be removed.
● Electronic components may be damaged by electrostatic processes.
- Only touch the edge of the printed circuit board and avoid static caused for
example by clothing.
● Before working on electrical installations or equipment (components, housings,
etc.), they must be disconnected from the mains.
Any on/off or emergency stop switches are to be fitted with a lock to immobilize
them in the open position and a warning sign is to be put up.
● Welding work constitutes a fire hazard.
● Electronic components (e.g. control cards) may be destroyed by welding work.
- Always disconnect these components from the mains before carrying out
any welding work.
- Disconnect components within a radius of 2 metres.
● Components which have been incorrectly set down or which have not been
fastened properly may fall off or collapse.
● Parts loosely placed on top of each other can slip and fall off.
● Components with sharp edges which are still exposed and accessible represent
a source of injury.
● In principle, all work on pneumatic equipment should only be carried out by
specialist personnel trained for this purpose. Before carrying out work on
pneumatic components, they must be depressurised!
● Faulty pressure lines and connections can lead to serious physical injury.
● Serious injury to persons or property can be caused if incorrect torque is applied
when tightening bolts and screws.
● When carrying out work on the animal segregation system, there is a risk of
unexpected malfunctions occurring as a result of
- a failure or fault in the control system
- restoration of the power supply after an interruption
- external influences on electrical equipment
