2.9 User’s safe area
The areas around the machine are divided as follows:
These are the areas where the user and the other operators can control the machine’s cyclic
functions (“operator station”), in either automatic mode or semi-automatic mode, with the control
panels or to perform manual operations.
Maintenance /
adjustment zones
These are the areas where the mechanical maintenance technicians can carry out maintenance work
or adjustments. These areas are considered hazardous and not accessible during normal machine
operation. Operators must be fully aware of the safety warnings and personal protective equipment
to be worn.
These are any zones within (or around) the machine where there are residual risks that can cause
harm to people. In these zones, access is forbidden to everyone during machine operation.
The hazards and risks in these areas are protected, as much as possible, with guards (casings, doors) and with safety devices
(sensors, micro switches, light curtains) which, if activated, completely shut down the machine.
However, when the machine is running, it is strictly forbidden to work in the danger zones as some of the risks might not have
been completely eliminated.
