5.3.2
Identified Hazards
The following hazards have been identified that are intrinsic to the Multi-Tip 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
Operation of the Multi-Tip requires both hands on the control buttons. This
means the operator cannot reach any 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 using the machine, and can
instantly stop all movement by removing either hand from the control buttons
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 Multi-Tip is designed so trapping hazards are minimized, and both hands
are needed to operate the machine.
Crushing due to unauthorized rapid descent of cradle
Operator
LO:
0.5
FE:
4
DPH:
2
NP:
1
Risk Factor:
4
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 steel, hydraulic, or control parts failing is low.
Other
persons
LO:
0.5
FE:
4
DPH:
2
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
A hydraulic speed-control valve 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.
