5.3.3 Residual Hazards
As with all industrial lifting equipment, some residual hazards may be present despite any
interlocks, guarding or other safety functions that can be fitted to the machine.
The machinery owner has a legal responsibility to take all reasonable precautions to
eliminate, isolate, or minimize these residual hazards. This may include:
-
Monitoring and enforcing the training of operators
-
Design and implementation of Standard Operating Procedures
-
Using rewards and/or disciplinary measures to encourage safe behaviours
-
Posting signage, floor marking, or other warnings as appropriate
-
Encouraging a culture of safety within the workplace
5.4 OSH Compliance Specification Guide
Companies in most jurisdictions (including Australia, NZ, UK, USA, Canada, and the EU) are
required by law to provide a safe workplace for their staff, including ensuring that all new
and existing machinery is safe to operate.
Although the particulars of safety legislation differ, most countries accept that machinery is
‘s fe e e’ f c be e s e comply with ISO 13849-1:2015 (or an
equivalent local standard).
ISO 13849-1:2015 may call for additional guarding, interlocks, and other safety features,
depending on the particular conditions of use. The following section is provided to assist
potential Dumpmaster operators in determining whether any additional safety features are
required for their application.
ISO 13849-1:2015 is a machinery-safety standard issued by the International Standards
Organisation. It provides safety requirements and guidance on the principles for the
design and integration of safety-related parts of control systems (SRP/CS), including the
design of software.
ISO 13849-1 has been modified for local conditions and reissued under different
terminology by some national standards authorities. In Australia and New Zealand, the
derivative standard is called AS/NZS 4024.1:2014.
In the USA, ANSI standards are commonly used to demonstrate the safety of machinery,
rather than ISO 13849-1. However,

5.4.1 The ISO 13849 functional safety model
Unlike the system architecture model used by earlier safety standards, ISO 13849-1:2015 uses
a functional safety model of machinery safety. That means it takes account of the reliability
of parts as well as other factors to create a comprehensive measure of the risk reduction
achieved by a safety function
– an indicator called Performance Level (PL).
The standard defines five Performance Levels, ranging from PLa (lowest performance) to PLe
(highest performance).
