The operating devices are chosen to avoid any unintentional operation which could have dangerous effects. They are arranged in such a way as to allow safe, rapid and unambiguous operation.
The start-up devices are arranged in such a way that the operator is able, from their position, to ensure that there are no people in the danger zones. Where this is not possible, any start-up is automatically preceded by an audible or visual warning signal. The exposed worker must have the time and the means to quickly remove himself from the risks generated by starting or possibly stopping the work…
All work equipment is fitted with the necessary controls to enable it to be shut down safely.
Each workstation or part of the work equipment is fitted with an operating device enabling either all the work equipment or only part of it to be stopped, depending on the existing risks, so that the operator is in a safe situation. This stop device is such that: 1° Stopping the work equipment takes priority over starting commands; 2° Once the work equipment or its dangerous parts have been stopped,…
All machinery must be fitted with one or more emergency stop devices which are clearly identifiable, accessible and sufficient in number to prevent hazardous situations which are likely to occur or which are in the process of occurring. The following are excluded from this obligation: 1° Machinery for which an emergency stop device would not be able to reduce the risk, either because it would not reduce the time needed…
Work equipment shall include the warnings, signs and warning devices essential to ensure the safety of workers. These warnings, signs and warning devices must be chosen and placed in such a way as to be easily perceived and understood without ambiguity.
Where operators have the possibility of choosing and adjusting the technical operating characteristics of work equipment, the latter shall include all the information necessary for these operations to be carried out safely. The speed limit above which work equipment may present risks is clearly specified.
Work equipment is fitted with clearly identifiable and easily accessible devices enabling it to be isolated from each of its energy supply sources.
The separation of work equipment from its energy supply sources is achieved by the implementation of suitable means to enable operators working in hazardous areas to ensure this separation.
It must be possible to dissipate the energy accumulated in the work equipment easily, without compromising worker safety. Where it is not possible to dissipate the energy, the presence of this energy must be rendered non-hazardous by the use of suitable means made available to the operators.
