1.14.1 Using lifting equipment
WARNING!
The use of unstable lifting and load suspension equipment that might break under load
can cause severe injuries or even death. Observe the accident prevention regulations
issued by your Employers Liability Insurance Association or other supervisory
authorities responsible for your company.
Check that the lifting and load-suspension equipment are of sufficient load-bearing
capability and are in perfect condition.
Fasten the loads carefully.
Never walk under suspended loads!
1.14.2 Mechanical maintenance work
Remove or install protection safety devices before starting or after completing any mainte-
nance work; this include:
covers,
safety instructions and warning signs,
grounding cables.
If you remove protective or safety devices, re-fit them immediately after the completing the
work.
Check if they are working properly!
1.15
Unattended Operation
CNC machines are designed for unattended operation. However, it may not be safe to let your
machining process run unmonitored. As it is the shop owner's responsibility to set up the
machine safely and use best practice machining techniques, it is also their responsibility to
manage the progress of these methods. The machining process must be monitored to prevent
damage in case of a hazardous situation.
For example, if there is a risk of fire due to the machined material, an appropriate fire suppres-
sion system must be installed to reduce the risk of harm to personnel, equipment and the build-
ing. Have a specialist supplier install monitoring tools, before allowing machines to run
unattended.
It is especially important to select monitoring equipment that can immediately perform an appro-
priate action without human intervention to prevent an accident, should a problem be detected.
1.16
Accident report
Inform your supervisors immediately in the event of accidents, possible sources of danger
and any actions which almost led to an accident (near misses).
There are many possible causes for "near misses".
The sooner they are notified, the quicker the causes can be eliminated.
INFORMATION
We provide information about the specific dangers when working with and on the CNC machine
in the descriptions for these types of work.
1.17
Electrical system
Have the machine and/or the electric equipment checked regularly. Immediately eliminate all
defects such as loose connections, defective wires, etc.
