Accident report
Inform your supervisors and Optimum Maschinen Germany GmbH immediately in the event of
accidents, possible sources of danger and any actions which almost led to an accident (near
misses).
There are many possible causes for "near misses".
The sooner they are notified, the quicker the causes can be eliminated.
INFORMATION
We provide information about the dangers of working with and on the metal belt saw in these
work descriptions.
1.14
Electronics
Have the machine and/or the electric equipment checked regularly. Immediately eliminate all
defects such as loose connections, defective wires, etc.
A second person must be present during work on live components to disconnect the power in
the event of an emergency. Disconnect the metal belt saw immediately if there is a malfunction
in the power supply !
Comply with the required inspection intervals in accordance with the factory safety directive,
operating equipment inspection.
The operator of the machine must ensure that the electrical systems and operating equipment
are inspected with regards to their proper condition, namely,
by a qualified electrician or under the supervision and direction of a qualified electrician,
prior to initial commissioning and after modifications or repairs, prior to recommissioning
and at certain intervals.
The deadlines must be set so that arising, foreseeable defects can be detected in a timely man-
ner.
The relevant electro-technical rules must be followed during the inspection.
The inspection prior to initial commissioning is not required if the operator receives confirma-
tion from the manufacturer or installer that the electrical systems and operating equipment com-
ply with the accident prevention regulations.
Permanently installed electrical systems and operating equipment are considered constantly
monitored if they are continually serviced by qualified electricians and inspected by means of
measurements in the scope of operation (e.g. monitoring the insulation resistance).
1.15
Inspection deadlines
Define and document the inspection deadlines for the machine in accordance with § 3 of the
Factory Safety Act and perform an operational risk analysis in accordance with § 6 of the Work
Safety Act. Also use the inspection intervals in the maintenance section as reference values.
