5.3.2
Identified Hazards
The following hazards have been identified that are intrinsic to the Ezi-MT design. For each
hazard a full Risk Evaluation has been completed and control measures described.
Blank template spaces are provided at the end for machinery owners to identify, assess
and control additional site-specific hazards.
Entanglement or amputation of fingers or limbs in moving parts
Operator
LO:
0.5
FE:
4
DPH:
1
NP:
1
Risk Factor:
2
It is difficult for the operator to access moving parts while using the machine.
Other
persons
LO:
1
FE:
4
DPH:
1
NP:
1
Risk Factor:
4
The operator has a good view of the cradle while lifting and lowering, and can
instantly stop all movement by releasing the winch handle if any persons
approach the cradle while moving.
Control
measures
Operators are responsible to obey all instructions and warning signs regarding
keeping themselves and others clear of moving parts.
Comments
The Ezi-MT is designed so trapping hazards are minimized, and both hands are
needed to easily operate the machine.
Crushing due to unauthorised rapid descent of cradle
Operator
LO:
0.5
FE:
4
DPH:
1
NP:
1
Risk Factor:
2
The operator is protected from the cradle by the frame and guarding during
operation. There is nothing to stop an operator or other person moving under
the cradle while it is inverted. Significant safety margins ensure that the
probability of failure of any component is very low.
Other
persons
LO:
1
FE:
4
DPH:
1
NP:
1
Risk Factor:
4
As above.
Control
measures
Operators are responsible to obey all instructions and warning signs regarding
keeping themselves and others away from the area beneath the cradle while
it is raised.
The machine must be regularly maintained, and all faults repaired
immediately.
Comments
The braked winch limits the maximum speed of descent in normal use.
Operator or others being hit by falling or flying debris
Operator
LO:
2
FE:
4
DPH:
0.5 NP:
1
Risk Factor:
4
The operator is protected from the cradle by the frame and guarding during
operation. There is some risk if product such as broken glass is being tipped.
Other
persons
LO:
1
FE:
2
DPH:
0.5 NP:
1
Risk Factor:
1
There is some risk if product such as broken glass is being tipped.
Control
measures
Operators are responsible to obey all instructions and warning signs regarding
keeping other persons away from the machine while in use.
If tipping items such as glass, metal or liquids, glasses and gloves should be
worn.
