5. Safety Assessment
The Dumpmaster has been designed to be as safe as possible without restricting the ease-of-
use and versatility of the machine.
Before the machine is used for the first time, a site-specific Hazard and Risk Assessment
should be completed as per
§5.3 .
5.1 Safety features
The safety features of the standard Dumpmaster design are as follows:
1. Mesh and sheet-metal panels which prevent access to all moving parts.
2. A safety interlock system which disables the machine unless the door is shut, and
electrically locks the door as soon as the cradle leaves the ground.
3. A tipping action which maintains the weight of the bin within the machine footprint.
4. A pressure-compensating lowering valve which automatically regulates the lowering
speed regardless of the weight of the bin.
5. A control system which either:
a. stops the machine unless continuous operator input is received, or;
b. has a prominent EMERGENCY STOP button to disable the machine.
5.2 Reasonably foreseeable misuse
Reasonably foreseeable misuse considered in the Dumpmaster design is as follows:
1. Attempts to use the machine by untrained operators;
2. Attempts to empty bins that the cradle is not specifically designed to hold;
3. Attempts to bypass the door interlock or other safety systems;
4. Attempts to clear spilt material from inside the guarding without proper procedures;
5. Attempts to clean the machine without following proper procedures.
5.3 Hazard and Risk Assessment Guide
Most jurisdictions require machinery owners to conduct a Hazard and Risk Assessment for
their equipment, which considers all relevant factors such as the area it is used, the skill and
training of operators, the proximity of other persons, frequency of use, etc.
The following section is not a complete site-specific Hazard and Risk Assessment, but an
assessment of the risk factors that are intrinsic to the Dumpmaster design. Blank template
spaces are provided for additional site-specific hazards.
The procedure for carrying out a Hazard and Risk Assessment is typically defined with
reference to ISO 12100:2010, issued by the International Standards Organisation. This
standard describes procedures for identifying hazards and estimating and evaluating risks
during relevant phases of a machine life cycle.
