Disposal
Customers can contribute to resource conservation and protecting the environment by the
proper disposal of WEEE (Waste Electronics and Electrical Equipment). All electrical and
electronic products should be disposed of separately from the municipal waste system via
designated collection facilities. For information about disposal of your old equipment,
contact your local OMRON Support.
3.10 Risk Assessment
Safety standards in many countries require that appropriate safety equipment to be installed
as part of the system. Safeguards must comply with all applicable local and national standards
for the location where the AMR is installed.
We have performed a Risk Assessment for OMRON AMRs, based on the intended
applications of the AMR. The conclusions are summarized in this section.
3.10.1.1 Exposure
Based on the risk assessment performed by OMRON, the hazards associated with exposure
to the AMR are minimal. However, these significantly rely on the awareness and training of
the personnel around the AMR. Along with common sense, the following should be
observed and practiced in order to avoid the minimal risks associated with exposure to the
AMR.
• Do not ride on the AMR. Riding on the AMR or staying in the vicinity of the AMR for
long periods (when ON or while charging) will expose you to the magnetic fields
generated by the AMR.
• When the AMR is turning in place, while not moving forward, personnel must stay
away from the AMR.
3.10.1.2 Severity of Injury
The severity of injury depends on the type of payload and how the payload is integrated
with the AMR. The severity of injury increases with the mass of the payload. Follow all
industrial safety practices, such as use of steel-toe shoes around the AMR, and adding
additional protection like side lasers, etc. depending on how the AMR is configured, to
reduce any work-related injuries.
