PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT IN CONFORMITY WITH CURRENT RULES:
all the following
personal protective equipment (PPE) has to be in conformity with relevant technical rules in force (Directive no.
89/656/CEE and following amendments and updates) and therefore has to be EC-marked and have relevant
declaration of conformity which usually refers to specific European (EN) technical rules of the harmonized
type. The operators must always inform the employer, manager and/or representative of the anomalies in the
operation or characteristics of the use of their personal protective equipment.
HEAD:
It is mandatory to use a cap to keep the hair gathered and to avoid entanglement within the moving
elements; also for hygienic reasons, the cap must always be clean and must be able to retain all hair.
EYES:
To protect the eyes from bone splinters or accidental blade breaking, the wearing of safety glasses is
mandatory.
NOSE, MOUTH:
To protect the respiratory tract from toxic emissions, pieces of meat or similar substances
under processing, the operator must wear a filtering mask. It is also necessary to wear a filtering mask for
hygienic reasons. The masks have to be replaced when they show signs of dirt or partial clogging or 2 (two)
working days.
EARS:
The machine does not produce a loud noise and according to the tests performed it produces a level
of continuous acoustic pressure equivalent weighted “A” of 82 dB(A) ± 1 dB(A) vacuum and of 88 dB(A) ± 1
dB(A) in the dry cutting of bones particularly big and strong. Ear protectors (protective headset) are strongly
recommended and workers must be instructed on their correct use. The use of new blades or very sharp
blades and water-lubrication of the cutting area of bones contribute to reducing the noise. The duration of the
noise, the characteristics of the buildings, and the noise of adjacent machines contribute to a louder noise.
Submit workers to regular health checks.
LIMBS AND BODY (what not to do):
Never wear rings, wrist watches, bracelets, jewelry, torn dresses, loose
clothing, scarves, ties, loose belts as they might get entangled and cause serious accidents.
LIMBS AND BODY (what to do):
For the protection of the operator, always wear overalls or coats with elastic
cuffs; both have to be wore tight, without leaving them open or just partially tight; tighten the sleeves around
the cuffs and always keep your hair gathered in a cap.
FEET:
it is mandatory to wear safety shoes with steel toes to protect the feet from the fall of heavy objects (the
machine itself or its spare parts or big blocks of frozen food).
