Full of information such as international standards, methods and precautions for risk assessment, examples of risks associated with oil and pneumatic equipment, and a selection flowchart for oil and pneumatic equipment.
Many labor accidents, such as those involving machinery entrapment, occur not during operation but during maintenance or adjustment of the machinery. During maintenance or adjustment, safety covers may be removed, and if the machinery operates unexpectedly, workers are exposed to significant danger.
Risk assessment needs to consider not only operational scenarios but also maintenance and adjustment situations. In addition to electricity, "oil and pneumatic energy" is widely used, and risk assessments must take all forms of energy into account.
This document serves as a guide to international standards for reducing the risk of labor accidents caused by oil and pneumatic energy, as well as methods for risk assessment and key points for risk evaluation, all presented in a substantial 96 pages.
【What is machine safety?】
It is the concept of reducing the risk of labor accidents (machine accidents) by designing equipment that anticipates risks associated with "operator mistakes or misoperations" and "failures of the machinery itself."
