Where do I need to locate my emergency stops? This podcast is going to cover, not just where to locate your emergency stops around your machines or on the machine itself, but what else you need to consider. This is will help make the decision process much easier, and you will at least have some clarity of what to think about, when you need to think about installing emergency stops on or around machines.

Description Once you've got hold of your maintenance manual, and the type of information you should expect to see contained within it I'm going to cover the first 8 area's that you might expect to see in the manual, not all of it will apply to your machine, but it will give you a good indication of what to expect, and it is up to you to either provide it, if you are a manufacturer or request it, if you are the buyer of the machine. This episode has been made to serve both. KEY TAKEAWAYS · As a manufacturer you must state how the machine must be used, it sounds obvious, but you must state it, and be precise about the purpose of the machine. · Once the operators are trained in the safe use of the machine, you can then think about what if any residual risks are around the machine.

Description This is going to be a deep dive into what a guard is, the required characteristics, the types, how to choose and where to get more information, for creating your guard design. KEY TAKEAWAYS Guards come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, and are defined as providing protection by a physical barrier, some are obvious and some are not so.A guard doesn't necessarily have to be painted a certain colour, like red or yellow. BEST MOMENTS There are 6 key characteristics that all guards must have, without anyone of these it simply can't be classed as a guard. Guard physical barrier, designed as part of the machine to provide protection NOTE 1 A guard may act either ⎯ alone, in which case it is only effective when “closed” (for a movable guard) or “securely held in place” (for a fixed guard), or ⎯ in conjunction with an interlocking device with or without guard locking, in which case protection is ensured whatever the position of the guard.
