MACHINERY SAFETY CASE STUDY<\/h5>\n

The Secrets of Successful Risk Reduction<\/h2>\n

Note Risk Reduction rather than safeguarding, it encompasses more than just \u201csafeguards\u201d. Creating a zero risk environment is an impossible goal and those that pursue this impossibility invariably make risk reduction measures more likely to be defeated in a bid by employees to actually make something. We can however significantly reduce risk and get risk to an acceptable level by following a few simple steps.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
DESIGN OUT<\/h5>\n

At the machinery design stage look to reduce operator interventions, and eliminate hazards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
INCLUDE OPERATORS<\/h5>\n

It is critical to involve the machine users in the risk assessment process \u2013 they know their job, what will hold them up and what makes their life easier.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
REVIEW TASKS<\/h5>\n

Identifying tasks will help you identifiy the hazards. A task based risk assessment is a great approach. We hope to see more of this approach when ISO 12100 is revised.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
MOTIVATION TO DEFEAT<\/h5>\n

Defeating of interlocks is a critical issue and is an outcome of implemeting poorly designed risk reduction measures. Check out the Stop-Defeating site for more guidance by clicking here<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
