60 acast.com Machinery Safety Matters https://shows.acast.com/machiney-safety-matters en Barry Shepherd Machinery ,safety,health and safety,machines,guards ,CE Marking ,PUWER,Risk Assessments,Emergency stops Barry Shepherd This is your podcast about applying engineering pricniples to design safe machines.before putting them into service.

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.

Where do I need to locate my emergency stops?

 

This podcast is going to cover, not just where to locate your emergency stops around your machines or on the machine itself, but what else you need to consider. This is will help make the decision process much easier, and you will at least have some clarity of what to think about, when you need to think about installing emergency stops on or around machines.

Description

 

Risk assessment for safety related parts of control systems, and how to approach those first decisions on what to do.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

 

This is an extra step, and builds on the information of the risk assessment, that you carried out at the beginning of the machine design.

 

 

This is not just for controls engineers, but for anyone who is involved with machinery, now has the ability and power to make a valuable input in the overall design of the safety related parts of the control system.

Once you've got hold of your maintenance manual, and the type of information you should expect to see contained within it

 

 

I'm going to cover the first 8 area's that you might expect to see in the manual, not all of it will apply to your machine, but it will give you a good indication of what to expect, and it is up to you to either provide it, if you are a manufacturer or request it, if you are the buyer of the machine. This episode has been made to serve both.

 

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

 

·       As a manufacturer you must state how the machine must be used, it sounds obvious, but you must state it, and be precise about the purpose of the machine.

 

 

·       Once the operators are trained in the safe use of the machine, you can then think about what if any residual risks are around the machine.

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.

 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.

·       How you determine where a score sits in relation to the level of risk, is your risk profile.

 

 

BEST MOMENTS

 

·       If the process of carrying out a risk assessment creates a situation of fear of challenge, or confusion, then it can end up doing more harm than good.

·       A subjective risk assessment might identify unrealistic scenarios that are not foreseeable or practicable

·       The risk assessment will determine what that initial level of risk is, and the evaluation will determine whether or not to proceed to the next level

·       By the very nature of having a group of people assess a hazard, it removes the subjectivity from the issue.

·       The risk assessment will determine what that initial level of risk is, and the evaluation will determine whether or not to proceed to the next level

·       By the very nature of having a group of people assess a hazard, it removes the subjectivity from the issue.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

 

·       Every machine that claims any sort of conformity must at the very least have a nameplate on it.

·       There are certain characteristics that must be present on it.

·       As soon as you physically receive your machine you need to check that the paperwork matches the actual machine and there are simple checks that you can make to understand and get a feel for what you have purchased.

 

 

BEST MOMENTS

 

·       Without the nameplate there will at some point be doubt between the documentation you have and the machine it refers to.

·       A user will be a person who will benefit from the function of the machinery as intended by the manufacturer.

 

 

BEST MOMENTS

 

·       As an importer you must ensure that the product isn't sold or advertised unless it meets conformity and that it has the appropriate markings.

·       If you install equipment you must follow the manufacturer's instructions. But you have a responsibility to ensure that if you are altering an existing machine or installation that it is safe.

What machinery risk assessments are and importantly what they are not.

 

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

·       A risk assessment should never be treated as a box ticking exercise

·       The aim of the risk assessment process, is to assess the scenario's, in which the machine could become dangerous. 

·       It is this risk assessment that drives the solution

 

 

BEST MOMENTS

 

·       Different people see different things, so it's really important that everyone has an opportunity to contribute to the process.

Risk assessments are not a one stop process, where you do it once, stick it on a hard drive then never look at it again.

·       It sets you ahead of the competition who might not go as deep as you will in your design.

·       Machinery safety is a niche of general health and safety, and requires specialist knowledge to be able to apply it correctly.

·       Machinery safety isn't guess work or about who can shout louder or puff their chest the biggest or wow with qualifications to win an argument.

·       There are calculations, charts and tables to interpret that can be a minefield to understand,

·       A safe reliable machine will be more in keeping with a business that wants to grow and innovate, there is no need to cut corners on machinery safety.

 

 

BEST MOMENTS

 

·       How we do machinery safety is critical to our own personal safety, well-being, our business, our jobs and how we live.
