28 min - Safe operating modes using the D.I.C.E model.
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.

10 min - Shrouded vs Unshrouded Emergency stop pushbuttons
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?

7 min - Integration of machine emergency stops
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.

14 min - What is a guard?
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.

23 min - How to deal with hazards on machines.
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

About Machinery Safety Matters
From the publisher's feed
The series of these podcast is going to cover what machinery safety is, why it matters, how you can apply engineering solutions to solve problems while also keeping them safe and…
complaint with the relevant characteristics and requirements.
I have been in an engineering position, surrounded by machinery of some description since 1992, I have a strong background in electrical and mechanical engineering disciplines, and I have always had a curiosity to learn about engineering. I've studied it academically all the way up to degree, and post graduate level. I have travelled the far reaches of the globe and seen and assessed 1000's of machines in all different industries. I have consulted on the design following directives, regulations and standards on multimillion pound projects, and I still haven't learned everything there is to know. I think I will be an eternal student wanting to know more about machinery safety.
Machinery safety is a niche of general health and safety, and requires specialist knowledge to be able to apply it correctly. While occupational H&S safety concentrate on human behaviour, the management and safe systems of work, machinery safety deals with how that machine will manage the task it is being designed to do in a safe and reliable way. Its design should not to create any undue risk to the person using the machine. We all want a machine to be safe and not harm us or our friends and loved ones.
My aim is to share my experiences so that when you are faced with a scenario that will be discussed, in any one of the episodes, you will have the right steps to take. You might not, know the answer, but you will, have an idea on how to get to the right place, that is safe and compliant.
Health and Safety, but more specifically, machinery safety, is a learned skill, and with the right approach, framework and knowledge you will soon be on your way to making the right choices, if done correctly there is no need to fear or shy away from taking the first steps.
