2.1
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
The terms NOTICE, CAUTION, WARNING, and DANGER have specific meanings in this manual.
A NOTICE is used to indicate a statement of company policy directly or indirectly related to the safety of personnel or
protection of property.
A CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.
A WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided could result in death or serious injury.
A DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
This word will be limited to the most serious situation(s).
The term IMPORTANT emphasizes areas where equipment damage could result, or provides additional information to
make a step or procedure easier to understand. Disregarding information marked. IMPORTANT would not be likely
to cause personal injury.
REPORTING A SAFETY DEFECT
NOTICE:
If you believe that your equipment has a defect, which could cause injury, you should immediately
discontinue its use and inform CARVER, INC., at our address listed in this manual.
The principle factors, which can result in injury, are:
1.
Failure to center the work over the ram in the platen area, resulting in eccentric loading, tilting, and possible
movement of the work piece, which can then become a projectile;
2.
Failure to level the top head of the press after it has been repositioned, which can produce the same results as in
Number One, above;
3.
Fracture of a specimen or part of the apparatus due to overload, resulting in flying fragments;
4.
Occasional squirting of liquid from a pressed specimen;
5.
Contact with hot plates or heated apparatus can produce severe burns.
2.2
GENERAL RESPONSIBILITY
NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE...
Press safety is important. Press owners, operators, mold setters, and maintenance personnel must realize that every day,
all day, safety is a vital aspect of their jobs.
If your main concern is productivity, remember this. Loss of production always follows an accident involving a press:
•
loss of a skilled operator (temporarily or permanently)
