Description

Machines operate in different modes, and there are key characteristics of changing these modes of operation if you want to ensure operator safety.

There are at least 4 key requirements that must be in place before, you change the mode of operation of a machine, and I'm going to cover them in more detail.

 

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

 

When considering mode selection think about how are you going to disable the normal hazards and control the machine in a safe manner.

Remember that all 4 of these must be in place before you put it into service, this is not meant to be an order of priority but a means to help you remember the key requirements.

 

Think D.I.C.E.

Description

 

There are multiple types of emergency stops on the market and today, I want to discuss the over-use of shrouded emergency stops on installations, and where it’s inappropriate to install one.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

 

Location - can you change where it is, so that it does not get inadvertently knocked?

Alternative direction - to think about how it is mounted, and the way in which it is facing.

Size of pushbutton - can you change it to a smaller size so that it does not get knocked?

Type - can it be changed for a wire rope style or something equally suitable?

Description

 

 When you add a machine into an existing system it will more often than not have it's own emergency stop, and a decision on whether or how to integrate it into the existing system will have to be made. This podcast aims to address this situation.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

 

P is for Process

E is for Exposure

A is for adjacent hazards

R is to recognise hazardous situations

L is for the Layout of the machine.

Description

 

 This is going to be a deep dive into what a guard is, the required characteristics, the types, how to choose and where to get more information, for creating your guard design.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

 

Guards come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, and are defined as providing protection by a physical barrier, some are obvious and some are not so.

A guard doesn't necessarily have to be painted a certain colour, like red or yellow.

 

 

BEST MOMENTS

 

There are 6 key characteristics that all guards must have, without anyone of these it simply can't be classed as a guard.  

Guard physical barrier, designed as part of the machine to provide protection

NOTE 1 A guard may act either

 

⎯ alone, in which case it is only effective when “closed” (for a movable guard) or

“securely held in place” (for a fixed guard), or

 

⎯ in conjunction with an interlocking device with or without guard locking, in which case protection is ensured whatever the position of the guard.

Description

 

How to approach hazards and apply the hierarchy of controls

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

 

·       When faced with a hazard on a machine, it is really important to know how to manage those hazards.

·       However there are times when the machine cannot run slower or have forces that a below hazardous limits and for it to function as a machine due to commercial reasons.

 

 

BEST MOMENTS

 

 

·       The last two of the hierarchy of controls are really the last resort to be used as a primary control but will often be used to enhance other control measures.

·       The machinery directive or regulations uses the three step method, and the hierarchy of controls can be broken down

Description

 

This podcast is going to describe what information that the manufacturer needs to provide to the user of the machinery.

 

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

 

·       There are 4 general principles when it comes to drafting instructions.

·       Try and avoid technical jargon, by making the layout clear and easy to understand.

 

 

BEST MOMENTS

 

·       Drafting information is a fundamental part of the design of the machine

·       “sensorial saturation”, which is when too many alarms are triggered at the same time
