Slips, loss of balance and falls are the leading causes of workplace injuries. Remain vigilant regarding
surfaces made slippery by tool use and loss of balance caused by air lines or hydraulic hoses.
Proceed with caution in unfamiliar environments. Unseen hazards may be present, such as those
related to electricity or other wiring.
This portable assembly machine is not intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres and is not
insulated in the event of contact with a power supply.
Make sure that no electrical cables, gas pipes, etc. are exposed. which could cause a dangerous
phenomenon is damaged by the use of the machine
1.2.8.
Hazardous phenomena due to dust and smoke
Dust and fumes generated by the use of portable assembly machines can affect health (e.g. cancers,
congenital anomalies, asthma and/or dermatoses ); Assessing the risks of these hazardous
phenomena and implementing appropriate controls is crucial.
The risk assessment should take into account dust resulting from the use of the machine and the
potential for volatility of existing dust.
Direct discharge gases to minimize dust movement in dusty environments.
If dust or fumes are produced, the priority should be to control them at the point of emission.
Built-in functions or accessories for the collection, extraction or suppression of ambient dust or fumes
should be properly used and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Use respiratory protection in accordance with the employer's instructions or as required by occupational
safety and health regulations.
1.2.9.
Dangerous phenomena due to noise
Exposure to high sound pressures without protection can cause permanent and disabling hearing loss
and other problems such as tinnitus (ringing, buzzing, hissing or buzzing in the ears). Therefore,
assessing the risks of these hazardous phenomena and implementing appropriate controls is crucial.
Appropriate controls to reduce risk may include actions such as damping materials to prevent parts
from rattling.
Use hearing protection in accordance with the employer's instructions or as required by occupational
safety and health regulations.
Operate and maintain the portable assembly machine as advised in the instruction manual to avoid
unnecessary increase in noise.
If the portable assembly machine is equipped with a silencer, ensure that it is in place and in good
working order when the machine is operating.
Select, maintain and replace the consumable/tool as advised in the instruction manual to prevent
unnecessary increase in noise.
1.2.10. Dangerous phenomena due to vibrations
The information relating to use must draw attention to hazardous phenomena due to vibrations which have
not been eliminated during design and manufacture, and which remain as residual risks. They must enable
employers to identify the circumstances in which the operator is likely to be exposed to a risk of vibration.
If the vibration emissions value obtained using ISO 28927 -2 does not correspond to the vibration emissions
based on the intended uses of the machine (and foreseeable misuses), additional information must be
provided to allow for adjustment. assess and treat risks due to vibrations.
For recommended pin and adapter interface dimensions to reduce vibration, see ISO/TS 21108.
Exposure to vibration can cause disabling damage to the nerves and blood circulation of the hands and
arms.
Keep hands away from the clamp sockets .
Wear warm clothing when working in the cold and keep hands warm and dry.
If the skin of the fingers or hands begins to numb, tingle, turn white or if it becomes painful, stop using
the portable assembly machine, inform the employer and consult an occupational physician.
