2.2 Safety Hazards
To quickly determine hazards for working on or near the scanner, refer to the hazard zone
figures in this section, and the appropriate safety warnings and precautions listed and
described in the accompanying tables and Figures.
There are many potential personal safety hazards associated with the scanner. This
section groups the hazards by type.
Mechanical Hazards
• pinch points
• crush zones
• impact with moving equipment
• elevated work
• hot surfaces
• compressed air
• pressurized coolant
• lifting of heavy components
Electrical Hazards
• high voltages
• stored electrical energy
• static discharge (machine specific)
Radiation Exposure Hazards (Dependent on sensor type)
• nuclear
• X-ray
• Laser
2.2.1 Mechanical Safety Hazards
Safe work practices around the scanner largely depend on the location in which the worker
is positioned.
2.2.1.1 Pinch points, crush zones, impact, fall
Figure 2, Figure 3, and Figure 4 shows warning labels for crush points and pinch points.
The warning labels are displayed on the scanner in areas where mechanical hazards exist.
