n
The integrator must conduct a risk assessment that covers the
following areas:
–
Installation of the sensor PF55S in the higher-level
machine and any associated interface resulting from this.
–
Any change to the protection measures required due to
installation of the sensor PF55S in the higher-level
machines.
–
Any change in the use of the machine.
n
The integrator must eliminate any hazards identified in the risk
assessment or mitigate the risk associated with such hazards
by means of the following hierarchically ordered protection
measures:
–
Eliminate the hazards through design.
–
Minimize the risk through design requirements and defini-
tion of the hazard zones.
–
Minimize the risk through technical protection measures
and supplementary measures. Adapt the effective range of
the control system where appropriate.
–
Mitigate the risk through user information.
n
The integrator must instruct the operating company with
respect to these measures and any remaining residual risks.
The technical documentation must be augmented where
appropriate.
2.9 Immediate measures following an accident
The machine and its environment are so designed that as far as
humanly possible accidents can be precluded if:
n
All safety devices are active.
n
There is compliance with all safety regulations.
n
All specified maintenance and repair work is carried out.
Despite all these measures, accidents cannot be excluded in prac-
tice. An accident is never planned. The cause is mostly misconduct
(foolhardiness, overconfidence or hectic pace) of the individuals
concerned. Defective components attributed to poor maintenance
can also be the cause.
In everyday life, the cause of an accident is often a combination of
different circumstances. This makes it virtually impossible to pro-
duce a detailed procedural instruction for the accident report. All
measures after an accident must be dealt with attentively and with
the necessary expertise, otherwise an increase in the damages or
loss is to be expected.
Measures required after an injury
In general it is impossible to preclude any type of injury. All imagi-
nable combinations are possible. It is therefore not possible to
make a sweeping statement on the measures required.
Recommendation
Medium and severe injuries must be treated by doctors. Initial
treatment (First Aid measures) by medics or by trained first res-
ponders is useful and necessary.
