DEFINITION
Defence against what could cause harm. Element that interposes itself
between who may suffer harm and what may cause it due to hazards that
cannot be reasonably eliminated or risks that cannot be sufficiently
reduced during design.
We distinguish between:
The active protection that the operators themselves must activate
•
(emergency stops for example) and/or wear (PPE).
Passive protection that intervenes even without human command.
•
Physical barrier designed as part of the machine to provide protection.
A guard held in place (i.e. closed) either permanently (welded) or by
fastening systems (screws, bolts, etc.) that make it impossible to
remove/open without the use of tools (spanners, screwdrivers or Allen
keys). Easy-to-remove fastening systems (e.g. plastic knobs) are not
permitted.
A guard mechanically connected to the machine structure (e.g. with
hinges or guides) that can be opened without the use of tools.
Combination of the probability of an injury occurring and the severity of
that injury.
Risk that remains after protective and preventive measures have been
taken.
Using a machine in accordance with the information provided in the
instruction manual.
Using a machine in a way not foreseen by the design engineer, but which
may result from easily predictable human behaviour.
Plug or socket for connecting the terminal to the external equipment.
Appreciable minimum weight variation.
This is the maximum weighing capacity of the instrument, which does not
necessarily coincide with the max. structural capacity of the weighing
platform.
This indicates the protection rating for casings and enclosures containing
electrical or electronic components.
Penetration of solid foreign bodies (the first digit) and penetration of
liquids (the second digit).
