2.11 Handling and process materials
When handling process materials the appropriate protective clothing must always
be worn to prevent or reduce skin contact with these materials.
Defective, dismantled parts shall be sorted according to material type and routed to
the proper recycling channel.
Residues of oil, grease, solvents or cleaning agents must be reliably and environ-
mentally compatible collected in suitable and prescribed containers and stored
before being disposed of in an environmentally compatible manner in accordance
with the local regulations.
2.12 Residual risks
Residual risks are special hazards involved in the use of the machine which cannot be
fully eliminated despite a safety-conscious design. These residual risks are not readily
recognizable and may result in injury or damage to health.
In the event such unforeseen residual risks become apparent, the machine must be
shut down immediately and the responsible supervisor informed accordingly (if applic-
able). The supervisor then makes any further decisions and initiates the necessary
measures for elimination of the hazard. If required, the machine manufacturer must be
informed.
2.13 Hazards caused by mechanical influences
DANGER
During operation of the machine, there is mortal danger from uncovered rotating
machine parts (drive shafts, shafts, rollers, and conveyor belts...) and attached
parts jutting out.
Rotating machine parts and breaking attached parts may cause the severest injuries
like contusions, loss of body parts, broken bones. These injuries may be deadly in
especially severe cases. During loading, there is extreme hazard to life in the pickup
area due to rotating pickup shafts.
– You can protect yourself against these hazards by maintaining a sufficient safety
distance, by constant attention and by wearing suitable protective clothing.
