designed to prevent contact with the moving parts by a person and/or clothing
Guard types
protective devices designed and fitted so that alone or with other parts of the kachine, they prevent the dangerous part being reached from the side or sides covered
shield or cover
Protective device designed and fitted so that, alone or with other parts of the machine, it
prevents contact with the dangerous part from all sides
Casing
Protective device, which by means of a rail, fence, frame or the like ensures the safety,
distance necessary so that the dangerous part cannot be reached inadvertently.
enclosure
Guards shall be sufficiently strong. Unless it is clearly inappropriate, these shall, without
cracking, tearing or permanently deflecting, withstand a perpendicular static load of
1,200N
based on measurements from the location where a person can occupy
to operate, maintain or inspect the dangerous part.
safety distance
how much is the safety distance for upward reach for persons standing upright.
2,500mm
The safety distance that has 2,500 mm for persons standing upright.
Upward reach
No safety distance is specified
reach below barriers
Barriers, the height of which is less than 1,000 mm above the location, which a person can
occupy, shall not be acceptable.
Reach above barriers
which can be attained, taking into account
the aperture and the distance from other obstructions.
round reach
The safety distances depend on the shape of the openings.
inside reach through guards
shall not exceed the size appropriate to the distance of the guard from the
moving parts
opening
where the diameter of the largest circle that can be inscribed is not less
than the distance between the two apexes that are the furthest apart, shall meet the same
requirements as for round openings
polygonal openings
it is considered dangerous for the parts of the body if the
appropriate minimum separation distance is not maintained.
pinching points
which shall be fitted around the edge of
the platform or not more than 50 mm farther away and shall extend not less
than 75 mm above the platform;
foot-guard
which shall be not less than 1000 mm and not more 1100 mm
above the platform and an intermediate rail so that the vertical distance between any
two rails does not exceed 500 mm.
guard-rail
It should be located in a position convenient to the operator’s left foot. To disengage,
the pedal should be pushed forward. In such case of a combined traction-drive/PTO
clutch, the PTO shall be disengaged on the second stage.
foot-operated clutches
It should be located in a position convenient to the operator. To disengage, the control
should be moved rearward. Control should be operated only with the operator in the
operator’s station.
hand-operated clutches
to the operator in his normal operating position
on manned machines
on or near the power source or near the operating control
position.
on unmanned machines
