2.5 Safety – General Hazards
This system has been designed and manufactured considering all relevant safety regulations.
Improper use or operation by persons not qualified accordingly may result in danger to the:
• Life and health of the operator;
• System itself;
• Surroundings of the user;
• Performance and efficiency of the system.
General hazards of the system may arise in the following ways:
• Mechanical hazard caused by squeezing, shearing and cutting, catching and winding,
stretching or by freely moving parts;
• Thrust caused by kinetic energy of moving mass;
• Sharp corners and edges;
• Electrical hazard caused by touching live parts (directly or indirectly);
• Thermal hazard causing burns;
• Chemical hazard causing poisoning, corrosion and explosion;
• Toxic hazard due to inhalation of vapours and gases;
• Gases under pressure;
• Liquids under pressure;
• Combination of hazards caused by:
– faulty installation
– incorrect loading
– breakdown of power or media supply
– breakdown and/or incorrect arrangement of preventive measures
– combination of escaping media
• Hazards caused by:
– human misconduct
– noise
– allergies, excitations of mucous membrane, unknown effects caused by media
– ejection of parts
– disturbance / malfunction of control system
– leaking of hoses or pipes
– combination of atmospheres or vapors
– fire hazard
– natural hazards e.g. lightning, flooding, environmental catastrophes etc.
2.6 Safety – Mechanical
Freely moving parts may cause squeezing, shearing and cutting,
catching and winding, stretching of extremities. Extreme caution
should be taken to avoid touching any moving parts of the system
during operation.
When handling materials with mechanical, pneumatic or vacuum systems it is possible that
materials may be ejected. Extreme caution should be taken to avoid any possible contact with
the ejected materials without proper protection.
Only genuine parts supplied by MBRAUN should be used in the operation of the system. These
parts are constructed in conformance with applicable safety regulations. No liability will be taken
by MBRAUN in the event of installation of parts manufactured by companies other than
MBRAUN which may result in additional and unknown hazards.
