4.5 RISK AND RESIDUAL RISK AREAS - 1
Despite the safety guard and the devices provided on the machine, there are still some areas designated as
“risk and residual risk” due to the fact that certain machine risks cannot be eliminated for constructional reasons.
The figure shows the area where the machine is controlled and operated under normal working conditions.
This area is free of risk for operators and is defined as the “Operator command and control area”.
As the machine is too large for the operator to have full control over every area [length: from 6763 mm (min)
to 8400 mm (max)] as well as the safety devices and signals fitted to the machine, the machine perimeter must
also be delimited.
The procedure for delimiting the machine perimeter can be one of two basic situations.
1st - The machine is positioned with the rear part next to a wall.
In this case a sturdy barrier must be fitted and fixed to the ground as shown in Fig. 04-02 and in Fig. 04-04.
2nd - The machine is placed in the centre of the workshop or in any case not near a wall.
In this case a sturdy barrier must be fitted and fixed to the ground as shown in Fig. 04-03 and in Fig. 04-05.
