3. Safety Assessment
The Multi-Tip has been designed to be as safe as possible without restricting the ease-of-use
and versatility of the machine.
A Hazard and Risk Assessment should be undertaken before the Multi-Tip is used for the
first time, as described in
Section 3.4 .
3.1 Safety features
The safety features of the Multi-Tip are as follows:
1. A shrouded dual-hand control system, which immediately stops the cradle whenever
he ‘R se’, ‘ we ’ ‘ fe ’ b s e e e se .
2. A welded mesh panel which physically prevents the operator from accessing moving
parts while using the machine.
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.
3.2 Reasonably foreseeable misuse
The reasonably foreseeable misuse considered in the Multi-Tip 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 dual-hand controls or other safety systems;
4. Attempts to access the operational area beneath the cradle without following
proper procedures;
5. Attempts to clean the machine without following proper procedures.
3.3 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 a regional
equivalent thereof).
ISO 13849-1:2015 may call for additional guarding and safety features, depending on the
particular circumstances in which a machine is to be used. The purpose of this section is to
assist potential Multi-Tip owners to determine whether special safety features may be
required on their machine.
