What are the mechanical Hazards associated with machines

- Mechanical Hazards mainly from contact with or being caught by dangerous moving parts while non-mechanical hazards

- mainly from the power source or things emitted by the machine

Back 7

CSC-FaEDISpH

1. Crushing - hydraulic lift collapse

2. Shearing - like a guillotine

3. Cutting or severing - blade cutting - bandsaw blade.

4. Entanglement: - loose items such as clothing or hair caught on a rotating machine part

5. Drawing in or tapping:- a part of the body is caught between two moving parts or drawn into the machine

6. Impact: The body is struck by a powered part of a machine. - different from crushing how?

7. Stabbing or puncture: abrasive wheel fragments fly and enter skin or eye.

8. Friction or abrasion: contact made with a fast moving surface which may be smooth.

9. High Pressure Fluid Injection: fluid at very high pressure is ejected and penetrates skin

Once you are done elaborating on different factors, feel free to add anything you think is relevant. The formula is just guidance, a backbone to use anytime you deal with "FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED" regardless of the task in question.

Back 15

Factors to be considered at each step of the RA

1. Materials to be used, different types of hazards

2. People involved in development of RA and in the task; individual factors and vulnerable groups.Risk Levels based on probability and severity of consequences.

3. Work environment and physical hazards

4. Pieces of equipment, machinery, task and technical factors

5. Time needed, time of doing the task.

6. Cost and money involved and the feasibility of minimizing the risk to As Low As Reasonably Practicable.

7. How to record and control records and documents.

8. When to review etc.
