Machinery Directive EHSRs

1.3.7 Risks related to moving parts
The moving parts of machinery must be designed and constructed in such a
way as to prevent risks of contact which could lead to accidents or must be
fitted with guards or protective devices.
1.3.8 Choice of protection against risks arising from moving parts
Guards or protective devices designed to protect against risks arising from
moving parts must be selected on the basis of the type of risk.
24/09/2013
Slide 32

1.4.1 General requirements
Guards and protective devices must:
be of robust construction,
be securely held in place,
not give rise to any additional hazard,
not be easy to by-pass or render non-operational,
be located at an adequate distance from the danger zone,
cause minimum obstruction to the view of the production process,
24/09/2013
Slide 33

1.4.1 General requirements cont
In addition, guards must, where possible, protect against the ejection or
falling of materials or objects and against emissions generated by the
machinery.
24/09/2013
Slide 34

1.4.2.1 Fixed guards
Fixed guards must be fixed by systems that can be opened or removed only
with tools.
Their fixing systems must remain attached to the guards or to the machinery
when the guards are removed.
Where possible, guards must be incapable of remaining in place without
their fixings.
24/09/2013
Slide 35

1.4.2.2 Interlocking movable guards
Interlocking movable guards must be designed in such a way that the
absence or failure of one of their components prevents starting or stops the
hazardous machinery functions.
24/09/2013
Slide 36
To prevent access
24/09/2013
Slide 37

1.6.4 Operator intervention
Machinery must be so designed, constructed and equipped that the need for
operator intervention is limited. If operator intervention cannot be avoided, it
must be possible to carry it out easily and safely.

or
(b) to stop the movement of any dangerous part of machinery or rotating part
before any part of a person enters a danger zone.

Harmonised standards will be presumed to comply with the Essential Health
and Safety Requirements covered by those standards

The Role of EN Standards Globally
Many of the Standards now utilised in Europe are now globally recognised
standards
ISO

'B1' Standards
Apply to all machinery and are designed to promote the essential factors
mentioned in the foreword.
'B2' Standards
These are "apply when used" Standards, i.e. if a particular safety device is
chosen for a machine, then it must, be manufactured to the relevant
standard. E. g. Interlock switch, E stop switch.

BS EN ISO 13857
Scope
This International Standard establishes values for safety distances in both
industrial and non-industrial environments to prevent machinery hazard
zones being reached. The safety distances are appropriate for protective
structures. It also gives information about distances to impede free access
by the lower limbs.

Risk assessment
In order to select and design types of guards appropriate to particular
machinery, it is important to assess the risk arising from the various hazards
present at that machinery and the foreseeable categories of persons at risk !

BS EN 953
Guards must be suitable for purpose.
Guards shall be designed so far as is practicable to take into account

foreseeable use and reasonably foreseeable misuse.
Guards shall be designed so as not to cause hazardous crushing or trapping
points, with parts of the machine or of other guards.

24/09/2013
Slide 73
BS EN 953 Selection of guards
Guards should be selected from the following in the order of priority given:
a) Local guards enclosing individual danger zones if the number of danger
zones to protect is low. This can provide an acceptable residual risk and
permits access to non-hazardous machine parts for maintenance, setting,
etc.
b) A guard enclosing all the danger zones if the number or size of the danger
zones is high. In this case setting and maintenance points should, as far as
possible be located outside the guarded area.

Suitability of guards
24/09/2013
Slide 75
Safety Related Control System
A protection device or interlocking system should be designed so that it will only

operate as intended.
Furthermore, if a component deteriorates or fails, the device or system should
as far as possible fail in a safe manner by inhibiting the dangerous action of the
machine.
