Further details about the procedure for carrying out the hazard and risk
analysis and lists of commonly occurring hazards can be found in the fol-
lowing Standards:
z
EN 292-1 and EN 292-2 “General Design Principles for Machinery“
z
EN 1050 “Guidelines for the Risk Analysis of Machinery“
14.2.2 “Principles for the Integration of Safety”
In Appendix I, Chapter 1.1.2 of the Machinery Directive 98/37/EC there is a
clear procedure and sequence for the selection of protective measures:
14.2.2.1 Eliminating or minimising the hazards
This takes place at the design stage of the machine.
These measures include, for example:
z
A reduction in the use of energy (power, revolutions, voltages etc.) as
far as this is possible
z
The avoidance of unnecessary sharp points or edges
z
The avoidance of human errors by means of the ergonomic and logical
design of operating devices
z
The avoidance of hazardous materials and commodities
14.2.2.2 Taking protective measures against hazards that cannot be eliminated
These measures include, for example:
z
Guards, railings, housings
z
Protective devices (light barrier for hazard elimination)
z
Protective control equipment (enabling devices, two-hand controls,
speed monitoring etc.)
14.2.2.3 User information about residual hazards
This last of the three options is used if residual hazards remain after the
first two options have been applied. These measures include, for example:
z
Warning notices
z
Training and organisational measures
z
The use of personal protective equipment
14.2.3 “Technical Construction File”
The technical construction file contains all the documents that are required
to prove the safety of the machinery / safety component. These are, for ex-
ample:
z
A complete drawing of the machinery or safety component including
control circuit diagrams
z
